Q&A:
Q: Are there any plans to integrate ESRI maps into SAC for greater GeoMap functionalities?
A: Map provider is ESRI, additional functionality, plans to update to latest Esri, 4.x, will be exposed to additional functionality
If you want more functionality wanted, use influence portal
See https://blogs.sap.com/2018/11/15/sac-geo-spatial-custom-map-hierarchy/
Q: How do hierarchies work with book/unbooked members? can we persist a preference?
A: Good question; by default all filters have the cascading effect applied
Remove/hide any value that doesn't have a booked node
Q: When we export the Story to pdf , can it export the entire story instead of just what's visible on screen?
A: The export story to PDF should export everything on dashboard
If have a large visualization with a scroll bar, because based on real estate, may not be able to dynamically resize visualization
Q: When is story 2.0?
A: App design integration into optimized story experience, planned for Q1 next year
