Trying what is new in SAP Lumira Designer 2.1
I recapped here what is new with Lumira 2.1 and it was GA on Friday. I also wrote yesterday what is new in SAP Lumira Discovery.
Commentary
Commentary is at the data level, application based, cell commentary with three levels of commentary on the BI platform
Use the new samples that come with 2.1 to see:
There is a new Dashboard Sample and Feature Samples. To try the commentary, I use the Dashboard Sample and it shows on the right what it contains
Execute the application locally and in the upper right you can see the Comments icon
This is an example of an application level comment. Comments can be personal (only you can see them) or Global (those who have access to the application can see them).
Clicking insert will update the comments. UNKNOWN is the user because application is running local mode
I can filter down in the map and make filter-level comments
Filter level comments are shown in the right
In the crosstab you can also make cell level comments using the context menu
Sample Composites
One sample composite is the Card composite which is a KPI tile
The above is a sample application composite card
You can set properties at run time
Above is an example of going full screen on the chart and chart interactions
Above is another sample composite for the header and you can change properties
Enhanced Conditional Formatting
Looks like you can see the BEx conditional formatting rules
The above is a conditional formatting using a dimension rule, highlighting the monitor product category (using the SAP NetWeaver Demo model BEx query as a data source)
Above is the result of the conditional formatting, highlighting the monitors
You can change it to a graph and set the same conditional formatting rule on the graph
Click apply to set it on the graph
Filter by Measure
Similar to Lumira Discovery 2.1 you can filter by measure
Above is an example of the result of filtering by measure
Attribute Support for Filter by Dialog
You can see the product filter has attributes of product category and product group
Select the gear icon to add the product category and group attributes to the filter search dialog
Now you can see product category and product group attributes added added to the product filter dialog
Enhanced Export to PDF
“Fit to page” is new, so if you have a crosstab with several columns you can have the export to PDF fit to page
Above is the crosstab
Now you can see where it has fit on the PDF export.
Scrollable Container
The Dashboard Sample has an example of the scrollable container:
See the arrow pointing to the scrollable container.
There are more features, listed here.

Hi Tammy,
Do you know how to find the table where the comments are stored. Comments are stored in the commentary data base of the BI platform but not sure where to find them.
Thanks
Bryn
Hello Bryn - thank you for reading and commenting; I don't know where it is stored; I recommend asking this as a question on answers.sap.com
Hi Bryn,
the comments are stored to the Database that is defined for the BI Commentary Application in CMC. In the standard configuration if you enable the BI Commentary Application is the Audit Database. You will find a table that is called "COMMENTARY_MASTER". Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Philipp
