SPOTLIGHT USE CASE

You could build small data entry applications with this or provide complex configuration options for advanced usage scenarios, like custom API integrations or complex modeling algorithms. Learn more.
TIP OF THE MONTH
Brought to you by David Weik
Looking at SAS documentation is always a good idea, but today, I want to tell you about a special section where you can find the documentation for the interfaces (think SAS Visual Analytics, SAS Model Studio, etc.). In the menu, you’ll find a section called Accessibility, where you’ll find guidance on how to improve your experience using the SAS interfaces.
Even if you do not have any special accessibility needs, it is worth checking out this page as many interfaces have additional keyboard shortcuts that can be helpful. One of my favorites is using page up/down keys with table objects in SAS Visual Analytics.
