The SAS Visual Analytics Designer (the designer) enables users to easily create reports
or dashboards that can be saved and viewed on either a
mobile device or in the viewer. The designer is part of the SAS Visual Analytics product that enables
a user with either the
Visual Analytics: Analysis role or the
Visual Analytics: Administration role to view, interact with, and create reports. Simply open an existing report and
interact with the information based on your current needs. Report designers can easily
point and click to query central sources of data. You can
drag and drop tables, graphs, and gauges to create a well-designed report. You can also add text,
images, stored processes, and controls to reports. All of this is accomplished by
using the designer, which runs in a web
browser. You do not need to understand a programming language to create reports.
Report designers can easily create reports and dashboards based on data sources that
have been provided by a system administrator. They can update reports that were created
from visual explorations. Report designers can create reports by importing report
objects or
visuals from other reports. They can also define interactions (either filtering or brushing)
for report objects, and then include SAS analytical results in a single report.
