As in the classic look mouse clicking once on an image should link you directly to another section or report without having to click three times to get to the linked object. ... View more

would like to see the system auto create a backup version of the report i bring up for edit. when i click Save, the system will save the original version first in an archive directory. the system will keep x number of backups of the report and will suffix the report name with date and time. since i save and test a report multiple times in the same browser session, the system will auto save the original report once and then if its the same browser session, the system will ask if a new archive version should be created on the next save.   this way when i make a change, click save, test,change,save,test.  only the first save produces an archive of the original.   thanks ...

At the moment, the cursor stays in a data cell, and typing may overwrite data. Both bad orgonomics and dangerous.   Also, there is no valid reason that this button is sometimes grayed out. ... View more

The Data Base I'm using only has 125,000 rows. Each row has an individual ID. I would like to use a Text Input prompt for my report but SAS VA 7.3 cannot process such a large set of data. I can, nonetheless, type in an ID but it will only be taken into acount if I "do" something else like change to another section.   I would very much like to enter my ID choice to filter my graph without having to change section.   Thanks in advance.   ...

I have tended away from Tree Maps in SAS because you can only show the categorical value(s). On a pie chart you can include the actual value and the actual value as a percentage. Perhaps these could be included for tree maps or possibly allow the user to indicate if a data tip can be visible on the tree map without the need to hover over the tile. ... View more

When having a VA report with 2 sections and 2 data sources (let’s say datasource1 and datasource2), and containing the following: in section 1 a prompt from datasource1, a chart from datasource2 and an interaction between the prompt and the chart based on 2 columns (col1 and col2) in section 2 a prompt from datasource1, a chart from datasource2 and an interaction between the prompt and the chart based on 2 other columns (col3 and col4) When trying to change the columns for the second section, the columns for the first section also get changed from col1 and col2 to col3 and col4. It would be very useful if the report sections would be able to act independently and to set different interactions that affect only the current section of a report. We are currently using SAS VA 7.1, however, the behaviour mentioned also reproduces in the version 7.3. ... View more

A report includes several tabs. Each is developed separately as there are iterations, versions, corrections. It'd be very useful that when a tab is ready, it can be immediately added to an existing report rather than having to recreate it from scratch in that report. ... View more

It would useful to be able to use the current identity in a filter in a VA report, without having to implement row level security in the metadata. In this way you can pre-filter based on the identity and also provide the ability to view all the data if necessary in an user friendlly way.

Request It is requested that can be managed use of hyperlink on images in order to create buttons for accessing directly (with one click only)  to one section or to one report or to other objects (e.g external link). Currently VA does not admit to have a direct link from one image but implies that after the first click it appear the link (or the links) associated with the object and then reuire s a second click. This way of working is interesting in some case, for sure when more options are available but definitively is not always reasonable. The request is to enable the possibility to keep current behavior but also to enable the direct access to the linked object only with one click as already possible also on mobile using hyperlink on text. Moreover it is requested to enable also in mobile the same user experience already working on web where with a single click on the image the user can access to the link if the link is only one The request is related with the needs to create a navigation bar with icons that enable the user to have direct access to the sections of the report Use case/Workaround We have designed an APP that include a vertical navigation bar with some buttons that should enable to access directly (with one click only!) the sections of the reports. The navigation bar is designed including one icon for each section and it is expected that sub click on the icon the user access directly (one clik only) to the linked section. This appears not feasible with current va mobile due to the fact that hyperlink on images requires on va a first click that show the link and a second click on the description of the link. Double click make sense if there are more option but typically a navigation bar with icons (also in IOS guideline for developer) never ask for a double click to user. In particular in this use case the icons is only for facilitating the navigation on report and the double click for sure does not help. Different workaround has been suggested from Sas local team (avoid using images and use text instead of images, keep current behavior since user can swipe between sections, …) but not yet identified a good one. Considerations Despite the warning on usability enhanced by SAS local team, it has been checked the feature with business users and with external media agency and for Navigation bar it is confirmed the need to have only one click.   The functionality is by the way available in many BI competitors of VA. ...
