SAP Analytics Cloud Stories
You create and use planning stories in order to execute planning activities in SAP Analytics Cloud. They are created by users and are based on planning models.
In planning stories, you can use comments and discussions to collaborate with teammates.
If you add a table in a story for planning, then extra planning tools are available for you to use.
Note
- Remember, your screen resolution and zoom affects where items are located in the SAP Analytics Cloud toolbar. In the previous example, Version Management appears in the … More menu option, however, with a higher resolution it appears in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
- Reasons for Unplannable Data: When you hover over a cell that is secure or locked, for example, the tooltip appears on the upper right with the explanation.
You can also use stories created for you. In the following example, you can see the Rapid Financial Planning and Analysis for SAP S/4HANA story landing page. This is an example of the prebuilt content available in the SAP Analytics Cloud Content Network that administrators can access. These stories can be customized, depending on business requirements.
Extended SAP Analytics Cloud Stories
Extended stories are created by story developers using advanced mode in SAP Analytics Cloud. These stories use scripting to add customized behavior to standard story widgets.
When you interact with the story widget, then the associated scripts are executed. In the following example, when you select a value in a dropdown, then a script filters the data by the value you select.
Extended planning stories can range from dashboards to highly dynamic and customized planning stories. They can be tailored for specific use cases where there are complex user interface requirements and can be useful for guided planning and approval workflows.
SAP Analytics Cloud extended planning stories are covered in more detail in the Designing Extended Planning Stories in SAP Analytics Cloud learning journey.
