Step 1: Import Data into the Public Caslib
A. Verify Data is Already in the Public Caslib
Check Available Data in the Public Caslib:
Open SAS Studio or SAS Visual Analytics.
Run the following code to list all tables in the Public caslib:
Code Block language sas proc cas; table.tableInfo / caslib="Public"; quit;
...
Go to Manage Data Pane by clicking the Navigation Bar (three horizontal lines nine dots at the top-left corner) then select Manage Data:
...
In “Sources” tab, click on “cas-shared-default” to expand the list of available caslibs. Next, select “Public” to display a list of available data tables in the right pane.

B. Import Data to the Public Caslib (if not present)
Prepare the Dataset:
Ensure the dataset is in a supported format such as .csv, .xlsx, or .sas7bdat.
Upload the Dataset to the Public Caslib:
a. Upload the Dataset Using SAS Code:
Follow these steps to upload the dataset into the Public caslib.Code Block language sas cas; libname public cas caslib="public"; /* When you "promote" a CAS table, it becomes global-scoped, allowing it to be accessed by other users and sessions */ data public.<your_data_name> (promote=yes); set <sas_data>; run;
Replace
<your_data_name>with your desired name for the table in the Public caslib.Replace
<sas_data>with the name of your SAS data.
b. Importing the Data from Your Local Computer or Workspace:
...
Navigate to the Manage Data pane. Click on “Sources,” then select the “Public” caslib. Next, right-click on the data you wish to use for your report and choose “Add to import.”

Create or Open the Report:
Design the report using the data stored in the Public caslib.
Save the Report:
Navigate to File > Save As.
Save the report in the Public folder under SAS Content.
Verify Report Location:
Navigate to the Public folder in the Content pane to confirm that the report is saved correctly.
Step 3: Share the Dashboard or Report

Key Points and Best Practices
Data Requirement:
The report must use data stored in the Public caslib; otherwise, it cannot be accessed by users without SAS Viya credentials.
Verify Permissions:
Ensure appropriate read permissions are set for the Public caslib and Public folder content.
Secure Data Handling:
