Moving SAC Story Filters around

[gthomson]

Hi there.

We use BW Live Queries and have a multitude of Dimensions available for Slicing. In SAC, we have some stories with over 10-15 Story Filters on them. Is there a way to re-order Story Filters around on a Story in a smart way?

Currently our options are deleting the First Story Filter and adding it again which then moves it to the end.

So if we have a new Story Filter we want to add and make it the first option, we have to delete and re-add every other Story Filter in a particular order to get it right which is time consuming. Just wondering if there is a smarter way of doing it?

Thanks!

Hello Garth Tomson,

Somehow you have to do it from 1st only. Just remember the order and do it wisely in the correct order you want to arrange them. If you want to know more about story filters you can refer to the following link

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response Pooja, appreciate it. This is how we are doing it currently. The main disadvantage of this is when you have alot of Story Filters and the order is required to change later. It also means you need to re-select any Static Story filters you have so yes you need to be very careful and concise.

I assume there is no planned releases for a change like this? Will submit a feature request as the Control panel on the right might be prime for this.

Thanks!

Hello again,

There has been a satisfying answer for the last couple of months, so I thought I'd put it here for people searching: 

Story settings > View Time Settings > Filter Panel

Then: Filter Order = Custom order. There you can rearrange with drag & drop and buttons.
