Create Scoring Output Tables

What Is a Scoring Output Table?

A scoring output table contains the definition of one or more output variables. After a scoring task is run, the scoring table contains the scoring results. You can create a scoring output table using the Create Output Table function directly from the model. SAS Model Manager saves the definition of that table to a SAS library that you specify. After SAS Model Manager creates the table, the table can be selected as the output table for subsequent scoring tasks. You map scoring output table variables to model output variables.

How to Create a Scoring Output Table

To create a scoring output table, follow these steps:
  1. In the Project Tree, navigate to the Models folder.
    MMRootthen selectorganizational folderthen selectproject folderthen selectversion folderthen selectModels
  2. Right-click model name and select Create Output Table from the pop-up menu.
    Create Output Table
    Note: If no value for the model property Default Scoring Task Input Table is specified on the Properties tab, the Input Variables section is empty.
  3. Enter a name for the output table that is unique to the SAS library. The names in the Library selection list are the SAS libraries that are defined in the SAS Management Console repository under the Data Library Manager folder.
  4. Select a SAS library name from the Library list.
    Note: You must have Write access to the SAS library.
  5. Select the check box in the Keep column for the Input Variables table column names and the Output Variables table column names that you want to include in the output table.
  6. Select the Add model ID check box to add the ModelID variable to the output table.
  7. Select the Use project mappings check box to use the project's output variable names.
    Note: Generated output variable names are used when the new scoring output table is created if the model and project output variables mappings are not specified.
  8. Add the columns to the output table using one of these methods:
    • Click Add Columns to add the individual column information from each row that you selected in the Input Variables table and the Output Variables table.
    • Click Add All to add all the columns in the Input Variables table and all the variables in the Output Variables table.
    Note: To clear your output table selections, click Remove All.
  9. Click OK. The output table is created and you receive a confirmation message. Click Close to close the confirmation message.
    Note: You can view the output table in the SAS Folders tab or the SAS Libraries tab of the Data Sources category view. You might need to right-click the library name and select Refresh to see the table.
