That means your pie chart and summary table tasks are using a format other than SAS Report.  (Custom reports can only use results in the SAS Report format.)  For example, perhaps they are using HTML instead, or another format.  You can check which results formats you are using by default by looking in Tools->Options->Results->Results General->Results Formats.  If you want to create custom reports, check the "SAS Report" results format.  Or, rather than setting this global option (which will affect all items), you can set on an individual item by right-clicking the task, select Properties->Results->"Customize result formats, styles, and behavior", then check SAS Report, and re-run.   Casey ...

It is still on our list for future consideration, but no, it has not been implemented yet, and will not be in our next release (EG 8.1).   Casey ... View more

Hi Uday,   See http://support.sas.com/kb/59/828.html... Many SAS administrators have to reference more than one path where folders or files do not exist within the same subdirectory; examples follow: C:\public\sasdata C:\users\sales Because the File Navigation tab options can accept only a single path, create symbolic links to the directories in question. For the above example, create symbolic links to both sasdata and sales in a single directory. Then refer to this single directory path in the Specify Path field on the File Navigation tab.   That SAS Note also points out that environment variables can be used on Windows servers... Note: If your SAS Workspace Server is running on a Windows server, you can use an environment variable. However, the variable must come first in the path and must begin with an exclamation point. For example, to use the USERPROFILE environment variable, you can use the following path:  !USERPROFILE\your-subfolder\   As another example, you might be able to use the USERNAME Windows environment variable in the server file navigation path to start each user in their respective sub-directory (if their usernames match the subdirectory names).   Casey ...

The standalone installer is still an option for deploying the SAS Add-in for Microsoft Office (and SAS Enterprise Guide) when it comes with your order, but for technical reasons, it does not come with all orders that include the SAS Add-in for Microsoft Office.  Specifically, it comes with orders that also include the SAS Web Parts for Sharepoint (BIWEBPTSMSSP).  For example, it comes with Office Analytics.   Casey ...

Did you record the response file when you deployed on a system that already had 7.12 installed (like your users) or on a system with no SAS products installed?  If the latter, I'd try the former, since there are different dialogs and required responses when the installer goes into update mode.   Casey ...

Hi @DDutton,   Not all operations can be executed (thus recorded) as commands in a macro.  The two operations you provided (saving and selection via *mouse*) are examples.   You can see a full list of the commands supported in a macro by clicking Program > Editor Macros > Macros, then click the Create button.   You'll notice there are quite a few selection commands (a whole category).  If you perform selections via the keyboard rather than the mouse while recording a macro, they will be recorded and can be replayed in a macro.   Casey ...

There is not currently a way to customize the appearance of the EG data grid.  Are you mainly wanting a different background color for just the column and row headers?  Or are you wanting subtle alternating background colors for each row?  Or something else?   In EG 8.1 (coming out later this year), there is a dark theme that might help:   EG 8.1 also picks up Windows High Contrast themes better than previous releases.   Casey ...

Thanks for the feedback.  We are planning to generate very similar wrapper code (including the macro variables) in SAS Studio and EG in future releases.   Casey ... View more

Hi @RosemaryM,   The EG (and AMO) standalone installers do not currently handle this well.  As you noted, the shared components are not uninstalled.  I won't bore you with the technical reason, but I can say that we have plans to address this in the future (by way of full MSI installers for the product and all its dependencies).   In the meantime, if full uninstall cleanup is a requirement, a 3rd-party tool is probably the best way to accomplish.  One example is Revo Uninstaller.   Also, I believe traditional deployment (the SAS Deployment Wizard) handles this better than the standalone installer, so you could try it instead.   Casey ...

Hi @Edoedoedo,   The current plan is for SAS Studio 5.2 to be available near the end of this year, but the date is not set in stone.   I am not able to reproduce the unresponsiveness working with a large program in SAS Studio 5.1.  I opened three large SAS programs (32107,  7123, and 6566 lines) and had no delay when editing each.   Sorry you are experiencing poor performance.  It would be good to report this to SAS Tech Support to see if they can help diagnose, and so they have a record in case others are experiencing.  In the meantime, SAS Studio 4.4 is available with SAS Studio 5.1 deployments.   Thank you for the feedback.   Casey ...

Hi Tommaso,   We have identified some performance issues related to working with tables in SAS Studio 5.1 (StudioV), which have been improved in our next SAS Studio release (5.2).  Also, SAS Studio 5.1 (StudioV) uses SAS Viya microservices to do its work, while SAS Studio 4.4 uses a more direct connection, which contributes at least some of the difference in performance.  We are continuing to optimize performance, but in the meantime, there may be scenarios where it is more performant to use SAS Studio 4.4 instead.   Casey ...
