SAS VA dashboard with floor plans

kcwtech — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 16:36:31 GMT

May I ask is there any way for me to create a dynamic dashboard with my shopping mall floor plan images (with different outlets on each floor) ?
It seems I need to use another tool to create coordinates for each floor plan first, then I need to find a place in SAS VA that can allow me to create an interactive dashboard with those floor plans. I can only find materials related to Tableau which seems more easier, but my company is using SAS VA instead so I need to study how I can do this with SAS VA, thanks!

There's a post in this same board (channel) from last year titled:

<< scanning floor plans (geographic area) into SAS >>

That may be a good start!

Based on your post I have googled the tutorial video prepared with a use of Tableau.
I would consider same approach. Create a scatter plot with overlaid picture of your floor plan
Make sctter plot transparent a bit. Hovering the mouse over points should print out some info

You may want to take a look at @FalkoSchulz's blog post Building and visualizing custom polygons in SAS Visual Analytics

and associated SAS Global Forum paper at https://www.sas.com/content/dam/SAS/support/en/sas-global-forum-proceedings/2018/1732-2018.pdf

There is also a troubleshooting blog post by Daria Rostovtseva Troubleshooting custom polygon maps in SAS Visual Analytics 8.3 that you may find helpful too.

Kind Regards,

Thanks! I think this may be the easiest way, but is there a way to change the floor plan images dynamically according to the selected floors by users?
