SAS The Power to Know

SAS® BI Dashboard 4.4

Accessibility Conformance Report

The SAS® BI Dashboard (hereafter ‘the software’) allows users to monitor Key Performance Indicators that convey how well an organization is performing using graphics, text, and colors. Dashboards are created, maintained and viewed via an easy-to-use Web-based interface. All content is displayed in a role-based, secure, customizable and extensible environment. End users can customize how information is displayed on their personal dashboards.
