One of the most popular question we hear is, is it possible to achieve data entry using SAS Visual Analytics 8.3. In the SAS 9 world, there was a simple answer: include a stored process in your report.
Do you think the answer will be the same in the SAS Viya world?
In Part 1 of this series, I explain what a SAS Viya Job is. In Part 2, I explain how to create a SAS Viya Job to perform some data entry using SAS Viya. In this last article of the series, I will add an extra layer and integrate the data entry job (quiz) into a Visual Analytics report.
SAS Visual Analytics (VA) offers different approaches to integrate SAS Viya Jobs into a VA report. Two objects can serve this purpose:
Both objects have the ability to define a URL which will display the content of the web page inside the SAS Visual Analytics report. To define the URL within the object options, we need to get the URL of our SAS Viya Job output covered in Part 2. This can be easily achieved in the SAS Job Execution interface.
Select any image to see a larger version.
Mobile users: To view the images, select the "Full" version at the bottom of the page.
This URL can now be pasted in the Options pane for the Web Content or the Data-Driven Content objects.
How do you choose between Web Content and Data-Driven Content objects?
The answer is quite simple. If you don't need to interact with the data used in the report, the Web Content object is the right option. As soon as you want to get interaction between the data in the report and the job, you should go for the Data-Driven Content object.
Here are a few examples of interactions:
What you can't do when integrating a job in a report is a direct update of the displayed data. In order to update the underlying data of the report, the CAS table(s) used in the report should be updated.
As you know from Part 2, our web page is a quiz that will require interaction from the report viewer; therefore I will use the Data-Driven Content object. If no interaction was needed, we could define the URL option in the Web Content but you don't really need a tutorial for that (more information).
We will start from where we left our quiz application in Part 2. Using the technique mentioned above, you can retrieve the URL of the job and add this URL to the Options of the Data-Driven Content object.
When this is done, we will create a few calculated measures to suit our needs and use the data to enrich the HTML form of the quiz. The Hint button in the form will display the percentage of users who selected a specific answer to the question. So, that means that we will have to update the %html macro and add some extra logic to it.
We have now a report with two objects but the HTML in the Data-Driven Content object does not get data from the report. We need to adapt the HTML code generated by the Job to collect data from the report and display the data in the HTML.
In order to collect data from the report, we should integrate two scripts provided by SAS and jQuery (a JS library easing the DOM navigation).
The SAS provided scripts can be downloaded from GitHub.
The jQuery script can be found here.
You can download those files and store them on the web server installed with SAS Viya. The location to store the files is: /var/www/html. The folder is by default only accessible by root user. You should change the rights on the folder to allow users to copy the files to that location. This can be achieved by a system administrator. As soon as the correct rights are set, you can copy the two contentUtil.js and messagingUtil.js to a folder named util and the jquery-3.3.1.min.js to a folder named libs. The needed files are now available to any user who has access to the web server. You can validate it using URLs similar to:
The next step will be to adapt the HTML macro defined in the Job. The HTML code generated by the macro should contain:
Here is the updated code:
%macro html;
%if %eval(&id > &maxid) %then
%do;
/* Call the quizz summary page */
%html_result;
%end;
%else
%do;
data _null_;
set casuser.questions (where=(ID=&id)) nobs=rows;
file _webout;
by id;
/* Generate the HTML head */
if _n_ = 1 then do;
put '<html lang="en">';
put '<head>';
put '<title>Quizz Programming</title>';
put '<meta charset="utf-8">';
put '<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0">';
put '<meta author="BIZOUX, Xavier">';
put '<style>';
put 'article {padding-left:20px;}';
put '</style>';
/* Add jquery and the utilities for Data-Driven Content object */
put '<script type="text/javascript"
src="/libs/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>';
put '<script type="text/javascript"
src="/util/messagingUtil.js"></script>';
put '<script type="text/javascript"
src="/util/contentUtil.js"></script>';
put '<script>';
put 'function hint() {
var x = document.getElementById("hint");
if (x.style.display === "none") {
x.style.display = "block";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
}
}';
/* Define function to handle the data retrieved from
Data-Driven Content Object */
put 'function DDC(messageFromVA) {
var question = $("#id").val();
var html = "Other users gave the following answers:";
html += "<table>";
messageFromVA.data.forEach(function (d) {
if (d[0] == question) {
html += "<tr><td>" + d[1] + "</td><td>" +
d[2].toLocaleString(undefined,{style: "percent",
minimumFractionDigits:2}) +"</td></tr>";
}});
html += "</table>";
$("#superHint").html(html);
}';
/* Add an event listener to define the action
when the Hint button is pressed */
put 'document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",
function (event) { hint(); });';
/* Define the action that is executed when the data are received
from the Data-Driven Content object */
put 'va.messagingUtil.setOnDataReceivedCallback(DDC);';
put '</script>';
put '</head>';
put '<body>';
end;
if first.id then
do;
/* Create the form calling the SAS JobExecution
and the specific job */
put '<form action="/SASJobExecution/">';
put '<input type="hidden" name="_program"
value="/gelcontent/Jobs/Quiz">';
put '<input type="hidden" name="id" id="id" value="' id +(-1)'">';
put '<section>';
put '<header>';
put '<h3>Q ' id "/&maxid : " questions '</h3>';
put '</header>';
put '<article>';
end;
put '<br>';
put '<label> <input type="checkbox" name="' Name +(-1) '" value="'
Correct +(-1) '">' choices +(-1) '</label>';
if last.id then
do;
put '<br><br>';
put '<button type="button" onclick="hint();">Hint</button>';
put '<input type="submit">';
put '<div id="hint"><p>Multiple answers</p>';
put '<div id="superHint"></div>';
put '</div>';
put '</article>';
put '</section>';
put '</form>';
end;
if _n_=rows then do;
put '</body>';
put '</html>';
end;
run;
%end;
%mend;
In the code, you can see the lines that were added in blue.
When the modifications are done, save the job and move back to the Visual Analytics report.
You should now see something like this:
Creating data entry using SAS Viya only is an easy task, you can use CAS to store data, build a data entry application using SAS Viya Jobs and integrate it within a VA report.
In this example, we've seen how to generate the HTML page using SAS code. The data entry application is quite simple a few checkboxes and buttons. To develop more advanced interfaces, you can separate the SAS code from the HTML code. The SAS Viya job can then become a data provider for your HTML page. It can be used to send data in JSON or XML format. The data are then manipulated in the HTML page and displayed. Separation of concerns is always a better approach for more advanced applications. This makes the applications easier to maintain and to split the development between a SAS programmer and a HTML/web programmer.
As discussed in Part 2, you should always have a clear understanding on the impact of your choices. Here are some questions you should ask yourself before starting:
Those questions are quite obvious but they will clearly impact the way the application is developed and how easy it will be to maintain and scale it while in production.
Here is a summary of the series:
Hi @XavierBizoux,
Im having issue on authentication of link when shared to a guest and which require a credential login. My objective is to share my work/project to non-sas user as "guest" that no login is require... Im also, used VA to refer and share the link via web content but there's an error of 403. Were already did made changes in the folder authorization level "as a guest". but still I cannot resolved the issue. Can you help why? Is there additional configuration settings that needed to share jobexecution form directly to non-users. Thank you in advance.
Hi
Sorry for the late answer to your question.
By default Guest access is designed to provide access to SAS Visual Analytics reports. SAS Job Execution requires specific access for Guest users to access it.
You should add specific Rules into SAS Environment Manager for SASJobExecution. You can find the related entries using the following URI: /jobExecution
I've not tested on my environment. So, I can't really tell you which ones should be updated to grant access for Guest user.
You might want to apply for the Guest user, the same rights as the Authenticated Users. I would nevertheless avoid giving more than Read access to avoid any security issue.
If you need more information or if you need me to investigate further how to set the rights properly, please let me know and I will spend time on it (but it might take a bit of time due to other priorities).
Regards,
Xavier
Hi Xavier,
Thanks for replying. By the way I already set the folder location accessible to guest same with authenticated users however it does not allow non-sas users to view the jobexecution link which resulting a 403 error upon access.
Thanks and regards,
Morning Xavier, great article, as with @danilononod I need to be able to share this with guest, I too got the 403 error, I went into Environment manager and changed all but a couple of rules, it got rid of the 403 error but now just says job error. I know my report work for those with access to sas, and the report works for guest but the part of my VA report that kicks off the job doesn't work for guest. is there another management option i need to adjust? The public guest folder is setup properly for access, as our other va reports without any job attached works great.
Rules I adjusted just to test:
new error:
Any help you can give would be great.thanks
Hi Xavier, stuck re-creating the Visual. I have the javascripts saved to the recommended folders and tested it with my browser, and all successfully showed the script details, sample:
Before updating the the new html code, I ran the job in sas studio and it worked great, no errors. After updating the html code and building the visual:
I am not getting the section on the data driven content that shows what other users selected as answers and when I submit my first question I get an error:
I clicked on show log and reopened report and here is the log short of the Error saying table already existed, I'm not seeing any other issues:

So found one issue that I fogot to do, when replacing the html from part two with the new html from part three forgot to change the line with the gel content to my directory where the job is
171 value="/gelcontent/Jobs/Quiz">';
So I can submit the quiz now with now apparent errors however the section in the data driven content, still doesn't show what other users responses are and I now get new errors:
NOTE: Active Session now MYSESSION.

Not sure if it an issue? Also is it supposed to look like i have five contents inside each other, each time I answer a question looks like its opening up a new data driven object?
Hi,
Sorry for the late answer, I was off for a few weeks enjoying summertime.
Regarding the troubles you are facing, I'm not sure about the issue but you can check the content of the casuser.questions in SAS Studio. The table has been promoted and should be available across sessions. You can check the content of the table after assigning the casuser libname.
cas mySession;
libname casuser cas caslib="casuser";
If the table is empty, you may have trouble earlier in the SAS code. If the table is available, you can try to execute the last part of the code which should "load data into the CASLib used for reporting and perform some cleanup activities". Let me know if that works in SAS Studio.
