## Description

SAS Visual Analytics empowers decision makers to view and interact with business reports and dashboards anywhere, anytime. The app supports a wide variety of report objects—charts, graphs, gauges, and tables—and enables fast, touch-driven interactions (pinch, zoom, tap) to filter, drill and explore data. Work online or offline, collaborate with others, and stay up to date as reports and data change. Built-in role-based security prevents sensitive data from being stored locally when not permitted, and the app connects to big-data engines (SAS LASR for VA 7.5 and CAS on SAS Viya) for high-performance analytics.

Requires a supported SAS Visual Analytics server (SAS Viya or SAS Visual Analytics 7.5). The app requests permissions for storage, internet access, and account management to create and maintain secure connections. Ideal for analysts, managers, and mobile teams who need fast, interactive, and secure business intelligence on smartphones and tablets.
