Enterprise Guide welcome screen
The first screen you see when opening SAS Enterprise Guide is the Welcome to SAS Enterprise Guide window, allowing you to open a previously open project (1), create a new project (2), or (3) open the supplied Tutorial. I typically open Enterprise Guide to create a set of code. For some reason, all of these years I have clicked on the New Project button and then from the Enterprise Guide menu selected File->New->Program. I think that since Enterprise Guide is always 1st a Project file, rather than a .sas program file that this was the order I needed to go. Of course, there is a better way. If I select link for New SAS Program in the New Area (numbered 2 in the screenshot) it not only opens a new SAS program node, it creates it within a SAS Enterprise Guide project. Doh! What was I thinking all of these years. Made me laugh out loud to realize the lost productivity. Is anyone else out there making the same mistake?
