Once the views are published to PAS, users are free to view the book and the
views inside it, as long as they have the proper permissions. If the user publishing
the book has enough authority, they can choose to manage the book and set
permissions as to which roles can see the book and which cannot. For the purpose of
this narrative, the user will have access to the book, so it is time to analyze the data
using the thin, or Standard, client of PAS.
The ProClarity Standard Client
The ProClarity Standard client is the completely thin-client version of ProClarity
that is part of the ProClarity Analytics Server. It is a series of pages that allow nearly
all the same functionality as the Desktop Professional client while being completely
web-based. As a web-based application, the Standard client does have significant
differences in how certain actions are performed, but most of the functionality of
the Professional client is available. In a few rare cases, the Standard client even
includes functionality not found in the Professional client, as will be pointed out in
the following sections.
Perhaps one of the most significant differences between the Standard and
Professional clients is that the Standard client does not include any drag-and-drop
capabilities.
