users write code rather than use the point-and-click user interface, some
organizations may not routinely install
Enterprise Guide
when installing
SAS. For example, two of the authors who had SAS installed on their
university office computers were each not provided with
Enterprise Guide
in the original installation; we had to request the technical support staff at
our respective universities to install it. If you have SAS installed on your
computer but do not have

B.3 OPENING
SAS ENTERPRISE GUIDE
We will assume that
SAS Enterprise Guide
4.0 (or the most current version)
is available on your computer and that its icon (a shortcut) is visible on
your desktop (if it is not then you can navigate to it in the
Program Files
folder on your internal drive). Open
Enterprise Guide
by double clicking
on its icon. This brings you to the window shown in Figure B1.
Everything in
SAS Enterprise Guide
is done within the context of a
project
. The initial screen for
SAS Enterprise Guide
therefore provides
choices to you in the context of projects. The top portion of our opening
screen lists some of our more recent ones.
