I have question regarding tables in process flow. On SAS EG - on Project pane in the left side I see some tables named Excess_Sales_History, retailer_invent under IGT_Invenory project. (A screenshot is bellow) Can someone explain or determine how these tables are used in this project?Just want to know does the IGT_Invenory project uses that retailer_invent table at all?

These objects are just links and if not connected to anything then you can just delete them without any impact on existing flows or programs. 

 

Someone might have added such a link object to a project just for documentation purposes using below:

Just to document that the table the object links to gets used

But ideally one then also links the table as input to the program

Do you think if I delete them it will not impact the program? I just want to know if the retailer_invent table actually doing something in this program?

Deletion of this link object won't break your code or impact the result.

Thank you Patrick!

I have another question. The Process Flow diagram is squished on SAS EG in my laptop. Is there any way to make it bigger? The screenshot is bellow.
