Check object type of a SAS VIsual Analytics object

anonymous_user — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 07:59:52 GMT

How do I check what type of object I am looking at on a page in SAS Visual Analytics? With the standard objects, I could right-click the object and on the bottom of the pop-up menu it would say, for example, "Change Bar chart to". However, since I am using a custom chart, it now only says "Change Custom chart to". I do not know of any other way to check what the object type is.

I don't know how to phrase this question differently.

The report builder has no way to identify the parts that make up a custom chart. That is why you see only Custom Chart. To help identify the graph, you can choose a more descriptive name when the graph is created, such as "Bar Chart with Two Line Charts Overlaid." That name will appear on the Options pane when you have the graph selected in the builder.
