reporting and exploration of data in SAS Visual Analytics is performed
against data that is in memory on a SAS LASR Analytic Server. In addition to the in-memory
tables, you can use your own data with self-service
data access if you have been granted the
capability to import data.
If your site has data that must be prepared before it is ready for analysis, then
the data builder can perform basic

-
Joining tables, such as fact and
dimension tables.
-
Working with SAS/ACCESS engines
to read data from operational systems.

Administrator provides features that are most commonly associated
