SAS ABM Survey KitA Sample Usage Scenario:

Collecting Group Assignment Values

Problem:You have a Resource Account. There are 10 people in Manufacturing. You want to collect the # of Hours each of them spent for different activities. For privacy reasons, you want each worker to be able to login to his own personal survey forms and enter his hours.

Solution:All you do is create a Manufacturing Group (consisting of the 10 workers) and assign it to the Resource Account. ASK will distribute your Resource accordingly. Basically, the final Driver Quantity for each activity will be the sum total of the hours entered by each Manufacturing Group member.

Login as Admin.Notice the ASK version

on the bottom of the screen.Group Assignment feature

is available in version6.2.1.3335 or higher.

Let’s go here

We create theManufacturing Group and

define the 10 User Members.

Let’s go here

Assign Owner

Finally here

Each owner willreceive separate email

containing the ASK web link (http://ASKServer/Model1 in

this example).

The email will include his/her individual user id and password

to login to ASK.

Jim Smith (one of theManufacturing Group users)

logs in.

Jim entered the # of Hours he spent for different

Manufacturing Activities.

Susan Jones (another Manufacturing Group user)

also logs in.

Susan entered her # of Hours

spent for differentManufacturing Activities.

Let’s check the back-endStaging Dataset.

Look at the highlighted observations on the

DriverQuantityFixedvariable.

450’s = Jim’s Hours (300’s) + Susan’s Hours (150’s).

Wait a minute:There are 8 other people who have not entered their hours!

So you can’t just upload the Assignment table to your modelnow.

Go to the next final slide. You’ll be happy to know that GroupAssignment feature is integrated with ASK Status MonitoringSystem.

ASK monitors everySurvey status.

You can easily tell youare not ready to update

your Model yet.Only Jim Smith

and Susan Joneshave completedtheir surveys (as

indicated by the blueicons).
