Sharing an interactive version of Design Studio Dashboard

Former Member

Hello,

I have Design Studio Version 15.0.6 installed. I have created a dashboard using SAP BI backend connections and as well as excel as data source. I am trying to figure out a way to share an interactive version of the dashboard. I need to send it to one of my colleagues so that she can play around with it.

I have gone through the following links but did not find a document that will give me step to do that.

Design Studio won't Display on BI Launchpad | SCN

Thanks for your help,

Pranoti

Hi Pranoti,

It sounds like you want to share an offline interactive version of your Design Studio dashboard similar to what is possible with Dashboards (Xcelsius).  The PDF export function in Design Studio does not support interactivity.  It is basically a screen capture.  The closest you will get to sharing a drill-able interactive dashboard is via the Offline Click-Through feature introduced in Design Studio 1.5, as documented in the post View on Offline Click-Through.

If you want to share a fully interactive version with your colleague then you will need to publish your dashboard to one of the supported platforms (such as the BusinessObjects BI Platform) and provide access to that platform to your colleague.

Mustafa.

Hi Mustafa,

Thanks for your reply.

I actually read your reply to another scn thread and tried the View on Offline Click-Through. But you are correct, I want to share a fully interactive version. Could you please let me know how can I publish my dashboard to one of the supported platforms?

Also, I thought another way of doing this is exporting the DS dashboard to Lumira. As lumira has more sharing options (this is my understanding, but not sure). When I tried doing that, I could only export the data source and not the complete dashboard. Do you know if exporting the complete DS dashboard to lumira is possible?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Pranoti

Hi Pranoti,

The process for publishing a dashboard will depend on which of the three supported platforms you would like to deploy to: BI, NetWeaver or HANA.  The details are documented in the corresponding Admin Guides:

SAP BusinessObjects BI Admin Guide for Design Studio

SAP NetWeaver Admin Guide for Design Studio

SAP HANA Admin Guide for Design Studio

As for exporting to Lumira, as you have pointed out, only exporting of Design Studio data sources is supported.  The entire application cannot be exported to Lumira.

Regards,

Mustafa.

Hi Pranoti,

In addition to my comments above, if you would like to learn about deploying your dashboard to the BI Platform I suggest you register for the webinar SAP Analytics - Integration of SAP BI Platform and SAP Design Studio as listed in the Upcoming Webinars section of the SAP Design Studio Webinar Calendar.

Today you share in Design Studio using a bookmark (you can share a bookmark) or export to a PDF

There is also the smart object feature; see

Hi Tammy,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried the export to PDF way but it is not interactive (the user cannot click on filters applied) and the structure of the dashboard is not maintained.

I have not yet tried the bookmark way but wanted to make sure that it would have interactivity even though I am using excel as one of the data source for the dashboard.

I am looking for an end result where the user can click on filters and map to drill down into data.

Thanks,

Pranoti
