Sample 36180: Creating KPI dashboards using custom add-in tasks in SAS® Enterprise Guide® 4.2 or 4.3

DetailsCodeOutputDownloadsAboutRate It

Overview

Beginning with SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1, you could generate multiple SAS Report task results that could be arranged into a SAS Report that resembled a dashboard. However, you were limited to bar charts, plots, pie charts, and tabular reports for your dashboards.

Beginning with SAS 9.2, using a new SAS/GRAPH® procedure called PROC GKPI, you can create key performance indicator (KPI) charts, which some consider more appropriate for building dashboards.

This sample includes two downloadable custom add-in tasks: one for SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 and one for SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3. You can use the tasks to create KPI charts, which can then be used to build professional-looking dashboards.

The dashboards can then be e-mailed, exported as HTML or PDF, or published and then viewed in SAS® Web Report Studio.
