Overview

The Document Manager is an enhanced file management tool that enables you to seamlessly access SAS® code, log, and output stored anywhere, either on your own hard drive, network drives or remote servers and hosts, as easily as if they resided on your own workstation.

The Document Manager is one of the primary access point to the ASAP ™ application.  Closely coupled with the Editor, Visualizer, and Site Manager tools, the Document Manager enables you to retrieve, manipulate, and execute SAS® code across your enterprise.

In addition, the Document Manager also recognizes related documents (e.g., execution log – program_name.log, execution output – program_name.lst, etc.) and manages them as a unit (package/set) regardless of locations.  This means when ASAP ™ transfers a SAS® code program from the remote server to the local workstation during remote execution, all related documents will be transferred automatically behind the scenes.

 Refresh

 

The Refresh button refreshes the active tab, updating it with any changes you have made to the directory or files.

 New Tab

 

 

 

The New Tab button creates a new tab in the Document Manager display.  Any folder you have highlighted on your active tab will be used as the root level of your new one.  If no directory or file is highlighted, an Open dialog displays, letting you search through your directory structure for a target.

 Close Tab

The Close Tab button closes the active tab.

The New Folder button creates a new folder beneath a folder you have selected on the active tab.  When clicked, a New Folder panel displays, requesting a name for the new folder.  Type the name and click the OK button.

The Delete button removes any folder or document that you have selected on your active tab.  The Document Manager asks you to confirm deletion.
