This blog post covers some of the latest features and enhancements in SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Digital Boardroom Release 2021.16, which will be included in the Q4 2021 Quarterly Release Cycle (QRC).
Please note that the SAP Analytics Cloud Help Portal is updated at the same time as the upgrade to this release, so the links here may not yet reflect what is described below until after the upgrade is complete.
Be sure to upgrade to the latest SAP Analytics Cloud agent version 1.0.331 to take advantage of all the data acquisition types. Here are the minimum data acquisition requirements:
For more information, check out the following System Requirements and Technical Prerequisites. Also please note that SAP Analytics Cloud fully supports Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome for all activities and areas of viewing, authoring, and administration.
Users can now display images in table visualizations based on special attributes of SAP Business Warehouse dimensions. The row height and horizontal alignment of these image attributes can be adjusted through the styling panel.
Users can now enable or disable the link on matching hierarchy functionality when blending or using filter across models for non-Optimized View Mode on SAP Business Warehouse data sources. When users change the hierarchy of the blended dimension, the secondary model’s hierarchy will also be updated if it has a matching hierarchy.
When blending multiple data sources and changing hierarchies, linking on matching hierarchy provides more efficient blend data by matching hierarchies. This feature offers more data accuracy as a result of the matching hierarchies that are updated automatically.
Once a story is resaved, viewers can now choose to display ID and/or Description for Filter Input Controls from the Context Menu based on their preference. Using a combination of ID and Description also increases the flexibility of the Paste Filter Values feature as viewers can paste in either ID or Description to update the filter values.
For additional information on Optimized View Mode, please visit the following resources from the SAP Analytics Cloud Help Portal:
Users can now add a header, footer, or margins to their canvas stories. The header and footer are independent widget containers that can be individually customized with different background colours and other styling options.
These reporting layout design features allow for a more professional visual with consistent logo images, margin sizes, and additional details that can be repeated throughout the canvas stories.
