SAS Studio repositories
are an easy way for you to share tasks and snippets with other users
at your site. Currently, you might be sharing tasks by sending the
CTM files through email. This method quickly results in out-of-date
content. You might also be sharing tasks and snippets by using a
network location. However, a SAS Studio user has to upload these
files into their SAS Studio session before they can access these tasks
or snippets.
Repositories provide
a solution to both issues. Maintenance is easier because all the source
files are in one place. To view the contents of a repository, the
SAS Studio user simply sets a preference in their SAS Studio session.
After this preference is set, any tasks and snippets in the repository
are visible from the Task and Utilities and Snippets sections
in the SAS Studio navigation pane. If you (the developer of the repository)
add content to the repository, the SAS Studio user simply needs to
refresh the content of the Task and Utilities and Snippets sections
to view your changes.
