Keep Process Flow Window on top always visible

shparber_m — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 07:01:49 GMT

I am using SAS EG 8.3

When I run a query - it automatically opens results in a new tab in the same window my Process Flow is. Which is not good for me because the new tab hides the Process Flow window.

At my previous job, I was used to work in a way that the screen is split horizontally into two windows:

In the above window I always see the whole Process flow. it is important to me that the Process flow always stays visible on top.

In the window below I want to see each time the outputs of a query I run. Each run - different results below. Also, when I double click on any table in the process flow, I want it to show that data table's preview in the window below.

I played a bit with options, I managed to horizontally split the window, but it still replaces the Process flow view each time I double click a table.

How to achieve this?

Thanks

Are you sure that you had the process flow on top always? I don't see an option to configure EG 8.3 to act like that. The project-view can be moved to be on top of everything else, but results aren't shown in that view.

Yes, I am sure I worked with Process Flow always visible in the window above and the results windows opened below.

It was not 8.3 but some earlier versions I don't recall which

There must be a way, I don't believe they would ruin the existing setup.

Currently, after each run I have to manually return to the Process Flow view - it's too many clicks...

Please help

Checked EG 7.15, it works as expected. With the exact same configuration: View | Apply tab layout | new horizontal tab group, datasets open in the upper tab, not the lower one. Bug or feature? I don't know. I recommend contacting SAS Tech Support.
