images in these indicators, open the dashboard that contains the affected indicators
in the dashboard designer. Click the indicator in the workspace. In the Object
section of the dashboard Properties pane, select Use proxy. Then save the
dashboard. You must make this change in each dashboard that uses an affected
indicator.
As a result of these changes, your output in SAS BI Dashboard 4.3 could be different
from your output in SAS BI Dashboard 4.2. In SAS BI Dashboard 4.3, you can edit the
objects in the dashboard (such as change the size of an indicator or modify a label) to
meet your needs.
Review SAS Notes for SAS BI Dashboard 4.3
Before you upgrade to SAS BI Dashboard 4.3, review SAS Note 40474: SAS BI
Dashboard is completely new software at http://support.sas.com/kb/40/474.html. From
this SAS Note, you can view other SAS Notes for SAS BI Dashboard 4.3.
Location of Dashboards and Indicators
After you upgrade to SAS BI Dashboard 4.3 or 4.31, dashboards and any objects in the
dashboard (for example, indicators, models, and ranges) are metadata objects and are
saved in SAS Folders. Any dashboards that you created prior to SAS BI Dashboard 4.3
are saved as metadata objects. The default location for these metadata objects is the
SAS Folders\Products\BI Dashboard 4.3 directory. This directory contains the
DashboardConfigs, IndicatorDefinitions, ModelConfigs, and
RangeDefinitions subdirectories. For more information, see “Folder Structure after
an Upgrade” in Chapter 14 of SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration
Guide.
Documentation Enhancements
Instead of the traditional Help delivery system, SAS BI Dashboard 4.3 now includes
more embedded user assistance, so you can get help when you need it. Additional
documentation is available from the SAS BI Dashboard: User’s Guide at http://
