Load Data into SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop

You must load source data into SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop before you can work with the data. You load data by opening a project, a node data set, or a link data set. You can load data in one of three ways:

select a project from the Welcome dialog box
select one of the last eight opened data sets or projects from the File menu
use the Open dialog box

You can have at most one link and one node data set open at any time.

To use the Open dialog box:

Select FileOpen. The Open dialog box opens.
In the Files of type list box, select either project files or SAS data sets, depending on the type of file that you want to open.
If you are opening a data set, then select either the Node or Link button, depending on the type of data set that you want to open.
If you are opening a data set and want SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop to synchronize node and link data, select Synchronize node and link data. This option is available only when you are opening the second data set of your network data, and that data set has not been synchronized with your first data set.

For more information about synchronization, see Synchronizing Data.
If you are opening a link data set and want SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop to generate the node data set, select Generate node data.
Select the file you want to open.
Click Open.

SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop displays the data sets in data tables. If you opened a project file, then SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop also displays any graphs that are associated with the project.
