Five SAC story-design enhancements for Q3 2023 — improved filter controls, dimension totals, threshold customisation and member-level filtering — that strengthen data storytelling.
The latest SAP Analytics Cloud updates focus on elevating the art of data storytelling through enhanced visualisation and dynamic features that let organisations craft more compelling narratives.
Filter control enhancement
Story creators can now conceal the Add Filter button in view mode, preventing viewers from creating their own filters and protecting sensitive data contexts.
Dimension totals in charts
Charts now support showing or hiding totals for individual dimensions, simplifying interpretation and enabling quicker summarisation across visualisations.
Threshold customisation
Designers can configure default threshold settings within themes using five predefined semantic states, each customisable by colour and shape, with custom thresholds offering additional flexibility.
Member filtering for charts and tables
Cartesian filter functionality lets viewers filter or exclude specific members, and SAP BW model users can establish range filters for non-numeric dimensions across bar, column, line, donut and pie charts. A new table context-menu option allows targeted filtering of individual dimension members without affecting others.
