We're considering changes to the What's New doc and want your feedback. We're considering moving to a short, high-level list of new features. Here's the "What's New" doc for the most recent release: SAS Visual Analytics 8.4: What's New. Here are our questions: Do you read the general enhancements in "What's New"? Do you read the details list in "What's New"? Do you skim the lists? Do you skip "What's New" completely? There's another list of new SAS Visual Analytics features on the sas.com site: What's New in SAS Visual Analytics 8.4. Do you prefer a list like this that has more pictures of new features? Please take a minute to let us know how you like to find out about the new features in SAS Visual Analytics. We need all feedback by Friday, November 1, 2019. Thanks, Joy

The new Learn & Support page for SAS Visual Analytics is live! This new page replaces the separate pages we had for the software, the documentation, and the learning center. It contains news about the newest releases; links to tutorials, training courses, and documentation. It also includes links to documentation for previous releases (back to the 7.1 release on SAS 9.4). Take a look: http://support.sas.com/en/software/visual-analytics-support.html. There's a new Learn & Support page for SAS Visual Statistics too: http://support.sas.com/en/software/visual-statistics-support.html. Let us know what you think. -Joy

There are a few differences in terminology for 7.5. That's covered in the What's New doc here: https://go.documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=vacdc&cdcVersion=7.5&docsetId=vawn&docsetTarget=n0uydvpefmtqbfn1klj8hrrn27l5.htm. -Joy

From the UI, the administrator can't hide other tiles like Favorites. However, there are some administration settings for the home page, like setting guest access. For information about roles, capabilities, and configuration properties for the home page, see pgs 70-73 in the SAS Visual Analytics 7.3: Administration Guide (PDF). Regards, Joy

Hi Ashish, Unfortunately, you can't hide the Welcome tile for all users in the 7.x releases. Individual users can hide the Welcome tile using the three dots in the upper right and selecting Hide. An administrator can share links with users and hide shared links in 7.x. However, they can't hide links that individual users have added. Regards, Joy

Hi AKS4, You don't mention which version you're using, but I'm guessing it's one of the 7.x releases. There's documentation for creating report links in VA 7.4. Unfortunately, you cannot create report links in a list table. Regards, Joy

Hi @lokendra_devangan_corecompete_com, Yes, Madelyn's correct. There isn't the same import functionality in the 8.3 release. What if you try combining the three reports using the import function in 7.3 and then moving the combined report to 8.3? That might be a little extra work, but you wouldn't have to recreate the report entirely from scratch. Hope this helps, Joy

Hi @upadhi, As @FredrikE says, integrating third-party visualizations isn't available in the 7.4 and earlier releases. The data-driven content object is a new feature starting in the SAS Visual Analytics 8.2 release on SAS Viya. You can see the documentation here: Working with Data-Driven Content and Defining URL Mappings for Data-Driven Content. -Joy

Hi Aroop, I'm sorry, but crosstabs in the 7.3 release don't have this feature. -Joy

Joy_SAS · ‎11-27-2018

Hi Aroop, I'm sorry, but SAS Visual Analytics doesn't currently provide a way for you have a column heading in a crosstab that spans multiple columns. -Joy

Hi @Bal23, You might also be interested in this documentation that introduces models for SAS Visual Statistics and SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning in the 8.3 release: Getting Started with Analytical Models. If you're using one of the 7.x releases, then you'll want to look at this edition: Getting Started with Analytical Models. (It focuses on SAS Visual Statistics, and includes instructions for downloading the data used in the example.) -Joy

Hi @DavidGQ, SAS Visual Analytics 7.4 does not create stored processes. However, it let's you use a stored process that has already been created in reports. This is covered in the 7.4 doc here: Use a Stored Process. There's separate doc about creating stored processes here: Stored Processes Developer's Guide. Note that stored processes are not supported in SAS Visual Analytics 8.x releases on SAS Viya. -Joy

We have published a new document called Creating Accessible Reports Using SAS Visual Analytics 7.4, which is written for report designers who want to create reports that comply with the Web Content Accessibility (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA guidelines. The document is the result of a joint effort between the SAS Accessibility and SAS Visual Analytics doc teams. It's available from the 7.4 tab on the SAS Visual Analytics doc page: http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/va/index.html#va74. The guidelines generally apply to the SAS Visual Analytics 8.x releases on SAS Viya, but we focused on 7.4 since that's the release many of you are using. -Joy

Joy_SAS · ‎09-20-2018

Hi @dipanarya1, You don't mention which release you're using, so I'm guessing that it's 7.4. In the 7.4 release, VA reports can only link to another report, another section, an info window, or an external URL. (See Working with Report Links in the User's Guide.) The SAS Visual Analytics Designer UI doesn't provide a way to link from a report to an exploration. You cannot open an exploration using parameters in a report URL. (See Using URL Parameters to View a Report in the User's Guide.) -Joy

Joy_SAS · ‎08-08-2018

Hi @gabras, I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question about sequence variables. I hope another VA expert can provide some guidance. -Joy
