SAS Visual Analytics Explorer (the explorer) is a component of SAS Visual Analytics
that enables you to explore your data sources. You can explore your data by using
interactive visualizations such as charts, histograms, and tables. You can also apply
data analysis such as
forecasting,
correlation, and fit lines.
Your work in the explorer is saved as a
metadata object called an
exploration. An exploration (sometimes called a
visual exploration) contains all of the visualizations, data settings, and filters from your explorer
session.
You can use the explorer
to explore in-memory tables from the SAS LASR Analytic Server. You
can either open a table directly or you can open a saved exploration.
You can export your exploration results as reports, which can be refined in SAS Visual
Analytics Designer (the designer) or viewed directly. Reports can be viewed on a
mobile device or in the SAS Visual Analytics Viewer (the viewer).
You can save your explorations as PDF documents, share your saved explorations via
e-mail, and export your visualizations as image files. You can export the data from
your visualizations to a
data file that you can use in other tools.
Note: Stored processes are not
supported in the explorer.
