Yes.

Information Maps can be created using any data source defined within SAS Management Console (views, references to RDBMS systems, cubes, etc) as well as Stored Processes.

Note - the view must be pointing to a data source that the user can also obtain when running the Information Map from the client applications.

Thanks Angela - what exactly do you mean that the view must be pointing to a source? In DIS, I used the SQL transformation and created a target of View member type.

another related question, what would be the best practice in SAS for Role dimensions?
In a star schema input to a cube , can I have a view as a Dimension?
It seems that a view would work just fine, but I want to make sure that it works across all interfaces.
