What's New

SAS Forecast Analyst Workbench 5.4 has been rewritten in HTML5.
Adobe announced that it intends to end support for Flash technology and will cease to update and distribute the Flash Player at the end of 2020. Browser vendors will disable Flash by default in 2019. For more information about Adobe Flash end-of-life, see SAS Software and Its Use of the Adobe Flash Player.

Zero State View in HTML5
In the HTML5 user interface, the Zero State view is used for all the workspaces. A Zero State message is displayed when there is no data or content, such as when a search returns no results, when a table contains no results, and so on. It is also used when the system is processing. Zero State messages disappear automatically when the container includes content.

Reports Workspace Is Removed
In the new user interface, you can generate and view reports by using SAS® Visual Analytics. The Reports workspace is not provided in the HTML5 user interface. Read more information about creating a report in SAS Visual Analytics.

Three-Stage Modeling on the SAS® Viya® platform Is Removed
The three-stage modeling analysis on SAS 9.4 and the custom template options are still available for analysis.

Product Chaining Tab Updated to Show Available Functionalities
The Product Chaining functionality is available only in the Administration workspace.
