Introduction to Analytics Designer Developer Handbook
Introduction
SAP Analytics Cloud, analytics designer enables analytics application designers to create centrally governable analytic contents, ranging from guided analytics dashboards to sophisticated planning and smart applications.
Since the first release of the analytics designer, we have witnessed many customers utilize this tool to build their analytic contents for business needs in a very innovative way. Here’re some vivid examples of these innovations: SAP Analytics Cloud Analytics Designer Empowers 3D Intelligent Factory, Extending SAP Analytics Cloud’s Visualization Capability with Apache ECharts, Analytics Designer: Five Business Cases for Truly Informed Experiences, etc.
While we’re amazed at customers’ success in making the most of the tool, we often hear these questions: How can I get started with the analytic designer? Where can I get samples? What are the best practices of designing analytic applications?
If you have similar questions, Analytics Designer Developer Handbook is for you. It is a comprehensive guide including everything you should know about analytics designer as an application designer, ranging from the onboarding materials like basic concepts, widgets and script APIs to deep-dive contents like typical patterns, best practices and performance tips.
You can download the latest version here: https://d.dam.sap.com/a/3Y16uka
In the meantime, we will regularly update the changes of the handbook in the community as well.
The End
Per our experience with customers, Analytics Designer Developer Handbook is something analytics designers can use and refer to handily many times. Hope it can assist you in your journey of designing fantastic analytic applications.

Thanks Jason Yang
Thanks! Version 12 is already out there, great API examples, and step-by-step tutorials seem like a good way to learn some advanced topics.
Hi Jason Yang
Where is the best place to get the most up-to-date version of the handbook?
Is it via this SAP Community page: https://community.sap.com/topics/cloud-analytics/analytic-applications-api or elsewhere?
Is the handbook on a set release cycle (i.e. 2-3 updates per year) or is it ad-hoc schedule? Reason I am asking is I would like to know when to expect a new version.
Thank you,
Stephen
Hi Stephen,
It is a good idea to follow SAP Community page: https://community.sap.com/topics/cloud-analytics/analytic-applications-api. We will make sure the URL there is updated.
The release cycle is usually after each QRC release, together with ad-hoc schedule for important changes. If you find it useful to have a short announcement for a new release in the community, I am happy to do that.
thanks,
Jason
Thank you, Jason.
