- SAP Managed Tags:
Hard to believe we are already entering Q4 2024 and with that we give you a glimpse of some of the new features in SAP Analytics Cloud. We have over 50 features for you this quarter but we will first take a sneak peek in to our Top 5 features in QRC4 2024. A full list of what is coming can be found on our Roadmap Explorer.
Bulk migration from classic stories to the optimized experience
The optimized story experience improves performance within SAP Analytics Cloud stories. We have enabled numerous features over the past couple of years and in this quarter we are excited to introduce support for the migration of multiple classic stories for SAP Analytics Cloud to the optimized experience. Some of the features include the ability to:
- Overwrite the classic stories or save them as copies
- Choose the location to save for converted stories
- Get a log for the migration status
This new feature will help Customers save time and effort in migrating multiple stories and reduce migration downtime.
Grouping of analytics catalog assets
Another exciting new feature in our SAP Analytics Cloud catalog is the Quick filters in catalog to allow for faster and easier content discovery. End users can select a quick filter and search results get refreshed based on pre-defined filter sets. The quick filters are set by the admins for grouping content in a meaningful way and making the lives of end users easier. Feature is also available for catalog publishers and allows for consistent metadata tagging of content.
Plan Process Management - template support
An exciting new addition for our planning users is the introduction of a file repository template object for calendar processes. This enables planners to:
- Save an existing process as a template (including subtasks and subprocesses)
- Create a new process based on a template
- Use templates in the event wizard to instantiate processes for multiple elements within the driving dimension
- Support the transport of templates across tenants
Data Actions – dynamic planning area support
Staying with planning, in this release, we have taken further steps in our multi-phase refactoring of how user planning areas are created and managed. This is important as keeps the data size manageable for planning activities, which in turn improves performance and streamlines resource management.
This functionality has been building over the past few quarters in 2024, but specifically with the Q4 release, we are now supporting dynamic extension of existing planning area within a data action, while respecting boundaries defined when either DAC and/or data locking are enabled.
This new behavior applies to wherever the data action is triggered, and an existing planning area has been established, whether via stories, or the Excel Add-In
SAP Analytics Cloud System Overview Performance One Pager
Last but by no means least we bring you a Centralized Performance Dashboard. It provides a comprehensive, centralised solution for all relevant performance data, presented in a clear and organised visual format. This Performance One Pager consolidates key statistics from disparate tools into a unified view, eliminating the need for manual data gathering for administrators.
