Configuring Other Widgets

You can add static or dynamic text using the text widget. Dynamic text automatically updates the text based on what dynamic text elements you choose.

Note

Symbols can be pasted into the text widgets.

The hyperlink option for the widget can be used to navigate between pages in the story, to a new story, or to any website. In the text widget, manually type the text you want for the hyperlink, such as Go to Page [X]. Using the Styling pane, format the text in the familiar blue, underlined hyperlink format. Finally, either right-click the widget or use the More Actions button, choose Add → Hyperlink and define the link.

R is an open-source programming language that can enable you to create custom charts and graphs. If the chart options in SAP Analytics Cloud do not meet your needs, the R Visualization widget may provide a solution for you.

The R server runtime environment provided by SAP allows you to access interactive R visualizations with an automatically configured R server.

You use the R Visualization widget to create and edit visualizations based on R scripts. By setting the relevant properties, you can change the size and style of the widget.
