With the intro\u00adduction of the Optimized Design Experience (ODE), SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) has ushered in a new era in the creation of reports and dashboards. The ODE combines the advan\u00adtages of the previous Story and Analytic Appli\u00adcation and offers users a number of impro\u00adve\u00adments that make working with SAC more efficient, flexible and colla\u00adbo\u00adrative. The advan\u00adtages of the ODE are explained in detail below.<\/p>\n
The ODE offers a simplified yet flexible environment for creating reports and dashboards. Users can now switch between a simple Story mode and an advanced developer mode, depending on which functions they need. This enables depart\u00adments to start creating reports and have developers add scripting if necessary. The ODE enables depart\u00adments to create their reports independently and, if necessary, to call on the expertise of developers to use extended functions. This promotes personal respon\u00adsi\u00adbility and relieves the burden on IT and developers, as a specialist is not required for every adjus\u00adtment.<\/p>\n
The ODE enables users to colla\u00adborate better. The ability to switch between different modes facili\u00adtates colla\u00adbo\u00adration between depart\u00adments and developers. Depart\u00adments can create their reports independently and, if necessary, call on the expertise of developers to use advanced functions. The improved colla\u00adbo\u00adration is also supported by the new functions of the ODE, which enable better commu\u00adni\u00adcation and under\u00adstanding of the needs of the department.<\/p>\n
The ODE brings all the functions of the Analytic Appli\u00adca\u00adtions into the Story environment, including the full and partially extended scripting API and the ability to customize the design using CSS. This opens up new possi\u00adbi\u00adlities for visua\u00adlizing and inter\u00adacting with data. Users can now use all widgets and objects in the story, making the creation of reports and dashboards even more versatile. The complete and partially extended scripting API and the ability to adapt the design using CSS offer additional flexi\u00adbility and custo\u00admization options.<\/p>\n
The integration of Story and Analytic Appli\u00adcation in the ODE elimi\u00adnates unnecessary dupli\u00adcation of work. Users no longer have to switch between different tools, but can use all the functions they need in a uniform environment. This saves time and increases efficiency when creating reports and dashboards. The ODE enables depart\u00adments to create their reports independently and, if necessary, have developers add scripting, which increases efficiency because the work does not have to start from scratch when extended functions are required.<\/p>\n
The ODE is an example of the conti\u00adnuous development and optimization of the SAC. SAP invests heavily in improving the platform to provide users with the best tools for their work. The ODE is a step towards a future-oriented, integrated and user-friendly analytics platform. The ODE takes into account the needs of different user groups and will not only have far-reaching effects on reporting, dashboarding and planning in the future, but will also indirectly influence board\u00adrooms, data analyzers and other SAC areas.<\/p>\n
The Optimized Design Experience in the SAP Analytics Cloud represents a signi\u00adficant advancement that funda\u00admen\u00adtally changes the way users create reports and dashboards. The ODE offers a simplified, flexible and efficient environment that improves colla\u00adbo\u00adration and optimizes the user experience. Users can look forward to a platform that is conti\u00adnuously evolving and adapting to their needs.<\/p>\n
