Report Thumbnails / preview images - SAS VA 7.5, Windows/SMP

[GertNissen]

According to SAS Visual Analytics 7.5: Administration it's possible in SMC to set "va.supportSharedThumbnails = True" to generate preview images.

Question 1)

• Where are these thumbnails used/available in the SAS Home (HTML5) or else in VA 7.5 ?

Question2 ) 

• Are these thumbnails stored as images somewhere in a Windows folder on the disk or are they generated dynamically ?

Question 3)

• Can these thumbnails be used in a HTML <iframe> ?

Question 4)

• Are there any negative performance implications whether it's set to true or false ?

It was possible in ancient VA https://communities.sas.com/kntur85557/attachments/kntur85557/library/631/1/SessionLog_24Nov2014.pdf but how about VA 7.5 SMP

/Thanks 🙂

Got this from SAS Support regarding thumbnails in VA 7.5

Actually the thumbnails generation is not supported anymore.

There is a defect commenting the property should be removed from SMC.
