SAC Story options

[former_member570381]

Had some more questions about the SAP SAC tool.

1) Is there any option for giving Input controls for the user if we build a report using the grid view?

2) How do we differentiate a report vs an Input Schedule by building a template using the Grid View.(i.e. Do we have any setting in SAC for switching the whole template On or Off ( for example we had a check box to make a template as input schedule or report in BPC standard)

3) How can we apply formatting for a template to apply dynamically to the Input template/report.

4) How can we have members expanded dynamically based on the user selection.

(2) for question 2, please see these links on making a canvas based story (which needs at least one table widget) into an input template via an input task:

  Search for "planning" on the page.

HTH and good luck!

(4) for dynamic expansions that is not supported at the moment (BAS, DEP, ALL, etc.).

Can you add a feature enhancement for this at:

Be as clear and concise as possible on what you require with screenshots.

(2) No.

(3) once you've reached your desired layout. Do : Save As Template.

then, incoming users will create a new Story.

in doing so, then can chose, Format > Layouts > then chose your custom template.

1) dashboard input controls are for canvases and responsive story-pages (which can display table components), but not with grid pages. Use regular filters for that.

[JohnL]

by regular, Henry means story filters or the group filter (in the buiilder tab) 😊

Hi!

wow you've got lots of questions today! not sure how well this will go, asking so many topics on one thread..

most of our implementing customers have a 'customer success coach' to help with on boarding and stuff, are you in touch with SAP or just relying on the Community to learn?
