SAS Visual Analytics can be used in different ways depending on the company. We have therefore created 8 topics all from our own experience at SAS and how our customers work with our software.
You can as a customer put together your own Worksop/Course from the topics below. The material can be used for 2 full days or shorter, depending on your needs.
Topics to pick from:

During this training we will take a closer look into the Data Driven Content object, which has been available since version 8.2. Data Driven Content object allows you to use 3rd party visualizations/capabilities in SAS Visual Analytics. The benefit is that we no longer are dependent on the default visualizations and capabilities available in SAS Visual Analytics.
Advanced Parameters (1h)
Parameters are amongst the most powerful and flexible parts of Visual Analytics. During this training we will take a closer look on how to apply advanced techniques on parameters to make VA reports even more flexible.

SAS Visual Analytics Web SDK is a collection of JavaScript libraries that web developers can use to embed SAS Visual Analytics content within custom web pages and web apps. The SDK provides a framework that enables you to:
embed entire reports or individual graph objects from SAS Visual Analytics reports
embed graph objects from multiple SAS Visual Analytics reports
provide actions between SAS Visual Analytics objects
Row level security (1h)
Row-level security (RLS) will allow you to build one report and use different data rows from the same dataset for different users.You learn to apply RLS using the Environment Manager and using SAS code and the sas-admin command-line-interface.We will use identity driven properties (userid and group membership), which allow us to make a generic RLS condition for SAS Authenticated users and have it applied based on the properties of the user that uses the report.
Load data from DI-studio to CAS and Viya (2h)
On this course you will learn how to load data to Viya from SAS Data Integration Studio. We will discuss prerequisites for using DI Studio with Viya, and you will get hands-on using the build-in Cloud Analytics Services Table Loader to load data to Viya. Next, we will look at how to create a custom transformation, if you want more control over the loading of the data to CAS.
Advanced calculations (1h)
Learn how to use the two Tabular Aggregated functions AggregateCells and AggregateTables. You learn how to create a cumulative total across values of a Category and how to use AggregateTable to perform on-the-fly calculations that were not possible before (like summarizing the salary of employees with-in a departments and afterwards calculating the average total salary at department levels)
