Defining Package Content (What to Publish)

You can use the What to Publish tab to specify the items to include in the package.

1. Activate the What to Publish tab in the SAS Publisher window by selecting the tab title.

   When you start SAS Publisher for the first time, the fields in the What to Publish tab are empty. Otherwise, these fields already contain data from previous SAS Publish sessions. If you specified package metadata when you started SAS Publisher, the content of that package automatically displays in the fields of this tab. If you did not specify package metadata, the metadata from the last successful publish displays. By default, SAS Publisher stores the metadata in SASUSER.ZPUBLISH.

2. The What to Publish tab includes fields you can use to provide both an optional brief description and an optional lengthier abstract of the package. It also lists the content of an existing package in the Items to Include in Package area.

3. Buttons to the left of the package view area let you add, edit, delete, and reorder package items. To add an item, click the Add Item button, which opens the Specify Item to Insert window. Use this window to specify the item and its defining parameters. For details about adding an item, see the section on Adding an Item.

4. Once you finish specifying items for the package, you must decide on the transport to use for delivering the package to the intended audience. Select the Where to Publish tab.
