Catch the latest installment of Into the Viya Verse with David Weik for a fast visual tour of this month’s SAS Viya enhancements, including AI powered assistance in SAS Visual Analytics and Information Catalog with Viya Copilot, plus usability improvements in SAS Studio with the new option table control.
SAS Visual Analytics
SAS Viya Copilot for Visual Analytics introduces AI powered, conversational assistance directly within reports, helping you ask questions in natural language, understand insights faster and streamline report exploration and analysis with contextual guidance.
SAS Information Catalog
SAS Viya Copilot for Information Catalog adds conversational, AI assisted discovery to help you search, understand and explore metadata using natural language, making it easier to find and trust the right data across the organization.
SAS Studio
The option table control in SAS Studio now lets you link an option table to a column selector control, so the selected columns dynamically define the number of rows in the option table – making step and task options easier to manage and understand.
Tip of the Month
Brought to you by David Weik
Senior Software Development Engineer, SAS
Quick tip: When creating a search query in SAS Information Catalog, you can use free text search. However, for large data estates, it’s often more efficient to use facets.
Facets allow you to restrict searches to specific metadata attributes, such as the library or description. Using the plus sign (+), you can also chain multiple facets together with AND conditions; if you omit the plus sign, the facets are combined using OR conditions.
