‼️SAP Analytics Cloud Fast Track Release Notes - 2024.24
Mobile
You can now consume stories in present mode in the iOS mobile app.
Stories containing geo maps can now be consumed in the Lite Viewer for the iOS mobile app.
Data Acquisition, Live Data Connections, and Integration
At present, to use direct live data connections in SAP Analytics Cloud, you must use a web browser that is configured to allow third-party cookies. SAP is working toward supporting an alternate configuration that will allow direct live data connections to work even when web browsers are blocking third-party cookies. This alternate configuration relies on web browsers supporting the Sec-Fetch-Storage-Access and Activate-Storage-Access HTTP headers, and certain actions you can take on your SAP on-premise data source system.For more information, see Configure Browser Storage Access Permissions for Live Data Connections.
Modeling
You can now display the query builder in read-only mode to view the query of a import job that has been created based on a SAP BW datasource.
Data Analyzer
As a user of data analyzer with the required scheduling authorization, you can now schedule the publication of an insight as a PDF, Microsoft Excel or CSV file. To schedule the publication you open the Schedule Publication dialog in the Share menu.
Besides, you can also schedule the publication of an insight from the file repository, the favorites menu and the featured files.
When you work in data analyzer with a SAP BW model that has two structures, the second structure name is now displayed with Structure in the Available Objects list. This change is also valid in the Set Variables dialog, the Set Filter dialog, the Create Threshold dialog and the Create Calculation dialog.
Stories
Geo maps in the optimized experience now use ESRI ArcGIS 4.X. With this upgrade, a few key improvements include:
-Improved and Smoother Rendering with Pan & Zoom
-Improved Datapoint Interaction for Overlapping Datapoints
-Consistent Tooltip with Charts (includes Sticky Tooltip, Threshold Tooltip Bar, and Interactions such as Filter, Exclude, Drill)
-Dynamic Text Support in Title / Subtitle
-Number Format and Currency Support from Theme Preferences
In the optimized story experience, openSelectModelDialog and setModel APIs are now supported for charts, which means the charts’ data models can be changed in view mode via scripting.
You can now use flow layout panels, sliders, and range sliders in composites.
When creating a composite in advanced mode, you can disable Manage Models for story designers via Global Settings so that they can’t replace its models or objects in use.
Calendar
You can now use Add-in workbooks as work files in calendar events.
