Geo Map Overview

▪ Geo maps can add a lot of value and context to your data analysis.

▪ SAP Analytics Cloud offers a variety of geographical mapping options to display your regional
data, trends, flow, and so much more.

▪ There are two ways to geo enrich your data, by Coordinates and by Area Name

▪ The Geo map has many functionalities which can all be explored in detail via this link

Creating Geo Map

▪ The builder for Geo map is different

from the one used for charts and
tables.

▪ You can create all content layers

here and choose which map is
used for the base layer.

▪ You can also configure which zoom

level should be shown by default.

▪ If a filter is set, the map can

automatically zoom in on the
filtered data.

Linked dimensions and Linked Analysis

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 11

 Blending

▪ SAP Analytics Cloud provides you with the ability to blend information from multiple sources.
• For example, you could leverage data from SAP BW and join your actual data with your forecast that is
coming to you in form of an Excel spreadsheet and then create a combined view and leverage this
combination in charts or tables.
▪ SAP Analytics Cloud provides two main approaches:
• Browser based Blending and SDI (Smart Data Integration) Based data blending – or to use different terms,
client-side vs server side.

Link 2 models with ‘Linked Dimensions’ Concept and select your fields and data (Primary, Secondary). Sample screens below:

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 12

Creating a Linked Dimension

▪ Linked dimensions can be used to create

blended charts or tables that display data
from multiple models.
▪ Linked dimensions also let you create filters
that simultaneously update all charts that
include linked data.
▪ Filters on linked dimensions can be used at
the story, page, and linked analysis level.
▪ Follow the link below for a detailed video
explanation on how to link dimensions on
different models.

Step 1
Select a chart and open Linked Analysis in
the chart action bar.

Step 2
Choose the All Widgets on this Page option
and activate the Filter on Data Point
Selection, which will allow users to only have
to click on a data point to filter down all the
other charts. Click Apply. 2

Note: Interactions only apply to widgets

from the same data source.

Collaborative Cross-departmental Functionality
Combine different sources while creating models

‘Combine Data’ option is available while creating a new model. This allows you to combine two to five data
sources at the model level.

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 16

Data Blending

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 17

Data Blending

▪ You can create stories with visualizations using data from multiple models and datasets.

▪ Blending models lets you join a primary data source with secondary data sources that contain
common linked dimensions. For example, you can blend data from a corporate data source with
data from a local spreadsheet, or blend data from a public model with data from a private model
derived from a dataset's integration into a story. Blending can be done within individual tables
and charts.

▪ You can blend data between models that are based on imported data stored in SAP Analytics
Cloud, without needing any blending-specific prerequisites or setup.

▪ Data blending with models based on live data is also supported for specific SAP data sources,
but does require additional prerequisites and setup.

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 18

Data Blending
Common blending scenarios

▪ Comparing data of actuals from a corporate SAP source with plans stored from a non-SAP
source.

▪ Comparing sales results against market benchmarks, or marketing campaign results available in
.csv files, or data provided by a 3rd party consulting firm.

▪ Creating custom calculations based on key performance indicators from different data models
like public census data.

▪ Using Smart Predict to output predictions in a dataset, and blend these predictions with other
data sources, in the context of a story.

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 19

Data Blending

SAP Analytics Cloud provides you with the ability to blend information from multiple sources.

For example you could leverage data from SAP BW and join your actual data with your forecast
that is coming to you in form of an Excel spreadsheet and then create a combined view and
leverage this combination in charts or tables.

SAP Analytics Cloud provides two main approaches:

▪ Browser based Blending (client side)
▪ SDI (Smart Data Integration) Based data blending (server side)

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 20

Data Blending

Browser based Blending is normally recommended for scenarios where you don’t need to combine
large data set, but instead the focus is more on smaller data sets.

Browser based blending doesn’t require any additional hardware, nor does it require any additional
setup.

But browser based blending has its limits in regards to the data volume:

These are the browser-based blending limits on aggregated sets of data:

• SAP BW Live connections: up to 6 MB in dataset size

• S/4HANA live connections: up to 6 MB in dataset size

• SAP HANA live connections: up to 2 MB in dataset size

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 21

Data Blending

The following scenarios are supported with Browser Based Blending:

• Blending between a live data model from SAP BW, and a data model based on imported data.

• Blending between a live data model from SAP S/4HANA (on-premise), and a data model based
on imported data.

• Blending between a live data model from SAP HANA (on-premise), and a data model based on
imported data.

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 22

Data Blending

SDI Based Blending

In case you do have the need to blend larger data volumes and you see the need to go beyond the
limits mentioned previously, you can configure the SDI (Smart Data Integration) based blending for
SAP Analytics Cloud.

In this case you will configure the SAP Data Provisioning Agent and point the Data Provisioning
Agent on the one hand towards your SAP HANA environment and on the other hand towards your
SAP Analytics Cloud environment.

Scheduling Publications

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 39

Scheduling Publications

Starting in QRC-Q2, you can schedule SAP Analytics Cloud Stories and Analytic Applications
and as a PDF attachment.

▪ Deliver to different users and teams in SAP Analytics Cloud via email.
▪ Specify schedule frequency for recurring schedules.
▪ Schedule with personalization to batch users using bookmarks.
▪ Schedule stories for both Acquired and Live data connections.
▪ Scheduling Publications is available only for tenants on Cloud Foundry (AWS).

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 40

Scheduling Publications

Schedule Publications are not turned on by default so a user with Admin rights will need to toggle
on “Allow Schedule Publications” in System Administration Panel.

Additionally, you can allow your schedules to be sent over to Non-SAC users by toggling “Allow
Schedule Publication to non-SAC users”

The SAC administrator might want to consider creating a custom role that combines both sets
of rights and apply this role to those users who need to create Schedule Publications.

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 41

Scheduling Publications
Schedule Publication is found in the Share drop box when a story is in View mode, be aware that
the feature is greyed out in Design mode.

Schedule Publication is a simple 2 stage process, the first stage defines the structure of the
Email and the second defines which users are going to receive what personalized content view
(bookmarks) of the story.

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 42

Scheduling Publications

▪ You can set the recurrence pattern of Every X hours, Every X days or a combination of specified

Content Network

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 58

Content Network
Overview

The Content Network combines two tools:

• Package Transportation
• You can export content from your system and store it on SAP servers so that other SAP Analytics Cloud
instances can retrieve it. You can also access content packages that were exported in the past or content
that was shared by other tenants.

• Business Content and Samples

• SAP and partners offer a broad portfolio of ready-to-use business content, which can contain data
models, connections, stories, or digital boardrooms. The content can be imported directly from here and
used with your own data.

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 59

 Content Network
Export Content

Step 1
Here you can export content packages to privately share with other tenants and manage packages already
exported:
For exporting a new package, you can search for the public files you want to export or browse the folder
