Accessing programs and data libraries in SAS Studio for Lessons 3-7
The SAS Studio interface can be arranged to display in two ways described below as arrangement 1
or arrangement 2. The easiest way to open programs and access data libraries is to use arrangement
1. Some demonstrations were recorded using arrangement 1 and others using arrangement 2. This
2

section describes the two arrangements, how to switch between the two, and how to use
arrangement 1 to access programs and SAS Libraries.

Arrangement 1: A left panel displays five sections labelled Server Files and Folder, Tasks and Utilities,
Snippets, Libraries, and File Shortcuts and a right panel displays One or more Program tabs.

Arrangement 2: The left panel is hidden and the Program tabs display only.

To switch between these display modes, double-click on the Program tab or click the icon with the
four arrows at the far right of the toolbar on the Program tab.
