About Report Objects
After selecting your data source and data items, add one or more report objects to display the results. The SAS Visual
Analytics Designer (the designer) provides report objects for all of your reports.
(You can also select data after you add report objects to the canvas.) Report objects
in the designer are grouped into types on the Objects tab
in the left pane and in the Insert menu: Tables, Graphs, Gauges, Controls, Containers, Other,
and Custom. Custom is
displayed only if one or more custom graphs are saved in your
My
Folder location or if custom graphs are selected
in the Show or Hide Objects window. For more
information, see Show or Hide Report Objects in the Objects Tab.For a definition and a
picture of each report object, see Gallery of Report Objects.
