To explore a data source:
-
In a web browser, open
the SAS Visual Analytics home page (at your equivalent of
http://server01.abc.com:8080/SASVisualAnalyticsHub).
-
In the
Create
Content area, click
Explore Data.
-
In the
SAS
Visual Analytics Explorer window, click
Select
a Data Source.
Tip
Each data exploration is saved
in its own project, which is called an exploration.
-
In the
Open
Data Source window, select a data source. Click
Open.
-
Drag any data item from
the left pane onto the center of the screen. The explorer assigns
the data item to a role and displays an initial chart as the new exploration’s
first visualization.
Tip
Each exploration consists
of one or more visualizations.
-
Tip
In exploration and reporting,
access to data is always Read-Only, so feel free to experiment—you
will not break anything.

File
Save from the main menu. In the
Save As window,
select
My Folder, and enter a name. Click
Save.
-
In the upper left corner
of the explorer, click

that the new exploration is in the
Recent list
in the
