How to create a landing web page with links to report
Imagine you want to create a web-based landing page with URL links to different SAS Visual Analytics reports, you can always add these URL links manually. But is there a way to do this more automatically?
In this video I will showcase how you can create a list of reports, with URL links and then use this list of reports in a web-based landing page. The key component of this solution is a SAS script that uses an API call to automatically generate this list of reports and URL links.
