Information Maps in SAS EG

[hkotian]

Can you run an information map with filter prompts from EG. It does not display the filter when the map is opened in EG...........

Hi:
This paper may explain how Information Maps work...there's a nice chart that shows where filtered prompts are available:

SAS Enterprise Guide uses the INFOMAPS library engine to access information maps, and prompted filters aren't supported in the engine for SAS 9.1.3.

Prompted filters will be supported in EG 4.2, with SAS 9.2.

Additional support that's coming:
- detailed vs. aggregated results
- combine filters with AND, OR, NOT and nesting
- limit result set size (set an OBS= on the result data set)

This same support will be in the SAS Add-In 4.2 for Microsoft Office.
