By default this points to the users personal folder on the server (based upon their login name) and therefore other users can’t see any projects that are saved there.

Often you want to be able to see these projects easily, when you need to re-run one or if the user who created is away (yes Sam I am talking about you!).

On the SAS support site there is a SAS Note that outlines how to change this setting.

Basically you edit the definition for the workspace server, but the options are a little hard to find:

1. In SAS Management Console, navigate to this location:
   1. Server Manager > SASMain – Logical Workspace Server > SASMain – Workspac Server.
2. Right-click and select Properties.
3. Select Options tab.
4. Select Advance Options button.
5. Select File Navigation tab.
6. Select Specify Path and field, type the path.
   1. I.e C:\EGProjects
7. Select OK and OK.

Then create separate folders under this location to enable the EG Projects to be stored by subject area.

Also don’t forget to change the file system security on these fodlers to allow users to read /write to it.

Of course the other option is to save the EG Projects in the Metadat tree / Webdav.

The benefit of this is that you are supposedly able to do impact analysis of these projects. (Has anybody tried this?)

I haven’t had a lot of luck getting the Webdav storage for EG working consistantly (and I like to be able to see the EG Projects in the file system for some reason as well)
