Embed mode not working for optimized story

[anthonysc]

Hi,

We are using stories with optimized design experience. We want to set them in Embed mode. We did that in 

View Time Toolbar Settings.

Unfortunately, when we apply and save the story, the embed parameter is reset to view and story is launched in view mode.

Have I missed something ?

Thanks in advance

Mat

Hi anthonysc, 

   I believe the screenshot you show is for you to set the toolbar in different mode, it's not setting the story to be opened in embed mode by default. To open story in embed mode, you either can put embed keyword into URL or open the story in embed mode via script. 

Best regards, William

Hi William,

It doesn't work.

Here is the original url : 

Https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/story2&/s2/F1688E05A19DBEA8166F710B4AB88BB4/?mode=view

If I replace ?mode=view by ?mode=embed the system overwrites it and the url remains Https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/story2&/s2/F1688E05A19DBEA8166F710B4AB88BB4/?mode=view.

If I replace   ?mode=view by ?shellMode=embed the system overwrites it and the url becomes Https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxstory2&/s2/F1688E05A19DBEA8166F710B4AB88BB4/?shellmode=embed&mode=view

Best regards

Have you followed the help on this? Seems your URL is different from what specified there. https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_ANALYTICS_CLOUD/a4406994704e4af5a8559a640b496468/fe8d560fce4f4fdd84454...

Hi William, you are right it works if I put shellMode before S2 instruction :

https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/app.html#/story2?shellMode=embed&/s2/storyID

thanks

Dear @anthonysc,

you can use script in the onInit() function of your story to reload it in mode embed

if (Application.getMode() !== ApplicationMode.Embed){
NavigationUtils.openApplication(Application.getInfo().id, UrlParameter.create("mode", "embed"), false);
}

I hope this helps.

Best regards

Dear Susanne,

thanks for your answer.

It works but it reload twice the story wihich is not acceptable for users.

I don't understand why the parameter is not taken into account.

Best regards

@anthonysc did you set the parameter as described in the SAP Help portal?
Display Parameters

@Susanne_Helbig So it is not possible to set the default mode to embed without loading twice or changing url parameters?
I want that the users can only open the story in embed mode by clicking on Recent Stories in SAC Home Screen. It should be a adjustable feature.

Hi @Alex_B,

as already mentioned by William, to open story in embed mode, you either can put embed keyword into URL or open the story in embed mode via script.

If you want to open the story via the "Recent Stories" section, I guess the only way is to use the mentioned code in the onInit function, but this will result in loading the story twice.

I'm not from SAC development, so please excuse my question:
did you try out the present mode? 
Would this mode fit to your needs?

Best regards
Susanne

Ok thanks. Present mode is something completely different and no option for me. In my opinion the Embed mode should the standard mode in SAC. The view mode with toolbar and filters only adjustable for specific users, so the present mode.
