SAS Enterprise Guide Interface: The ProjectA project is a single file that serves asa collection of data sources SAS programs
and logs tasks and queries results informational
notes for documentation.
You can control the contents, sequencing, and updating of a project.

Building a SAS Enterprise Guide ProjectTo begin work with SAS Enterprise Guide, you
1. create a new project
2. add data to the project
3. run tasks against the data.
Additionally, you can
4. customize results
5. automate the process.
15
Behind the ScenesAs you build tasks, SAS Enterprise Guide generates SAS code.
16
Behind the ScenesSAS Enterprise Guide prepares SAS code, either generated through point-and-click tasks or written by the user, and submits the code to SAS. SAS can run on your PC or on a remote server.

Three Levels of ExercisesLevel 1 The exercise mimics an example presented in
the section.
Level 2 Less information and guidance are provided in the exercise instructions, possibly including exploring options not presented in the section.
Level 3 Prior knowledge of the SAS programming language is assumed. Exercises illustrate the integration of point-and-click functionality together with the ability to write and edit code.
You are not expected to complete all of the exercises in the time allotted. Choose the exercise or exercises that are at the level you are most comfortable with.

Orion Star Sports & Outdoors
For the demonstrations and exercises, you will use data from Orion Star Sports & Outdoors. This is a fictitious global sports and outdoors retailer with traditional stores, an online store, and a large catalog business.
The corporate headquarters is located in the United States with offices and stores in many countries throughout the world.
Orion Star has approximately 1,000 employees and 90,000 customers, processes approximately 150,000 orders annually, and purchases products from 64 suppliers.
25
Orion Star ProjectThroughout the course, you build SAS Enterprise Guide projects that access various types of data sources, query the data to filter and join tables, and produce several different summary reports and graphs.
