Design Studio 1.3 - Trellis Charts unusable

I have tried using a Design Studio 1.3 Trellis Chart and when in Design Mode and runtime mode, the trellis is unusable. I am running IE11 and per the DS 1.3 PAM, this looks like it is supposed to be supported. It looks fine in Google Chrome. Am I the only one facing this issue?

Michael,
i`m facing the same problem with IE11. The problem is in the user agent string of IE11. I don`t know what`s wrong with Trellis Charts, it seems to me that it wrong recognizes agent string, but if you replace version of browser in agent string to MSIE 10.0 (for example) it will work fine.
You can try it in IE11
1. Press F12
2. Go to Emulation
3. Change user agent sting to IE10
and you will see that it works in browser.
To fix it in Design Studio you had to modify windows registry.
0. Press Win+R, type regedit, press enter)
1. Go to this branch of registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent
2. Create or modify string parameter "Version", set value to "MSIE 10.0"
3. Reopen Design Studio
profit
So it helped me)
PS. Sorry for my poor english, it`s not native for me

Can we reverse the category axis in Design Studio 1.3 column charts?

Hi All,
In WebI, there is an option to reverse the category axis for charts.
Do we have something similar in Design Studio? I have a requirement to reverse the order in which labels are appearing in the chart.
Please do help.
Thanks in advance for your response,
Sarah

Sarah,
You can go to Edit > Initial View and change the sort.
Would this work for you?

SAP Design Studio 1.3 Chart Tooltip Format Broken?

Design Studio 1.3 now offers the ability to format the X axis, Y axis, DataLabel, and Tooltip for a chart.
All of the items listed above honor formatting in the chart, except the Tooltip.
The screenshot below will show you a DataLabel formatted as percent using this formula: "0.00%"
Now I'm going to apply the exact same format formula ("0.00%") to the Tooltip, and it will not work correctly.
As you can see, it will not honor the formatting in the Tooltip. I have tried to using the built in formatting like: "#,##0", "#,##0.00", and "$#,##0".
The built-in formulas do not work for the Tooltip either.
Does anybody have any ideas how to get the Tooltip to format?

Hi Joseph,
Did you find your way around this issue ?
I'm experiencing the same and it is quite troublesome :S

Show Only First N Rows in SAP Design Studio Chart/Table

Hi,
Is it possible to show only first N rows of data in SAP Design Studio Charts/Cross Tab ?
Eg
Bex Query Output
Here If I mention First 2 rows, my chart looks like below
If I mention First 4 rows, my chart looks like below
Thanks
Anil

Hi Mustafa,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually our requirement is, we have one Bex Query where we are using Ranking Function.
We have 15 customers, and we need to know the ranking based on some calculations.
Whenever we execute the query with different time periods, the ranking of Customers will vary, for example if I execute query for year 2014, customer 1 can be Rank 1, If I execute for year 2013, Customer 7 can be Rank 1.
From this Query I need to show only Top 5 Customers in Cross Tab/Chart.
We tried to put condition on CY Ranking in Bex to show only Top 5, but the result was giving some diff customers and also for all Time periods we are getting same Customers In Top 5.
To overcome this, we thought instead of putting condition on Bex side, we are trying to pick only first 5 rows from Bex Query and show them in Chart/Cross Tab, something like we will map only first 5 rows in Xcelcius.
We would like to know is there any functionality in Design Studio to show only first 5 rows of data.
Regards,
Anil

Advanced chart styling in Design studio

Hello!
In my chart (combination - dual Axis) i need to compare data between subsidiaries.
In Bex query i have 2 characteristics: 0comp_code and 0calmonth
and 3 key figures: "Hired amount", "Fired amount" and "Turnover %".
In Application i've placed "Hired amount", "Fired amount" on Axis1 and "Turnover %" on Axis2.
During the application i move 0comp_code dimension to the Rows.
It looks fine then there is only one selected subsidiary - every key figure's color distinguish well:
By the way in chart's additional properties we can't select color for individual key figure, only for Axis:
As variant we can use Conditional formatting for chart to set key figures color.
But if select two or more subsidiaries Design studio automatically tints each key figure for additional subsidiary:
It is simple to manage coloring for Key figure in Axis2, because there is only one Key figure:
In my case i used such a CSS code:
// Color for line in Axis2
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-datalines g.v-axis2 path:nth-child(1).v-lines.v-morphable-line
{stroke-width: 5;
stroke: #ADC6E5}
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-datalines g.v-axis2 path:nth-child(2).v-lines.v-morphable-line
{stroke-width: 5;
stroke: #FF0000}
// Color for dots
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-markers.v-datashapesgroup g.v-axis2 g.v-marker g.v-datashape path.v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint
{fill: #000000;}
But i don't know how to colour key figures in bars:
If use this code, the result is not what i need:
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(even) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: green;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(odd) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: yellow;}
As well as a listing of all childs in CSS not a good idea.
Please advise a solution how to manage colouring of key figures for every subsidiary.
Like this (diagram from excel):

Hi Yaroslav,
By using CSS alone there are less possiblity of acheiving dynamic coloring for your situation,
As you already mentioned ,
nth-child(even)
nth-child(odd)
Not producing the result you expect, the next option will be formula
nth-child(-n+3)
Which will also wont provide the result you expect i hope. So the last solution will be this one by specifiying it indivdually(hard coded)
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(1) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: green;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(2) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: yellow;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(3) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: blue;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(4) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: red;}
I think this are all possiblities with the nth-child pseudo selector.

Design Studio BW SSO User not authorized

Hi all,
I have problem with BW SSO integration on Design Studio. We developed dashboards on top of BW. We have users and they are only authorized to see the data for their own companies and plants. To achieve that, we created OLAP connections with SSO enabled and we have BO/BW integration. The queries work fine in Analysis OLAP.
However, we are having problems with Design Studio. Here is the problem.
1. Create a dashboard lets say with a combo box and a chart.
2. Populate the combo box with the script below:
DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("0COMP_CODE", MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 20, "ALL"));
3. In combo box, wirte the code below to filter values on chart:
DS_1.setFilter("0PLANT__0COMP_CODE", DROPDOWN_1.getSelectedValue());
4. Save it on the platform.
5. Open the dashboard on the platform with SAP user
6. By default, in combo box, "ALL" value will be selected. If the user has only authorized to see only 1 or 2 companies, then the chart give "User is not authorized" error message.
7. Select a company from combo box, the chart shows values of the selected company.
8. If the user wants to see the total of the companies authorized to see, then the chart doesn't show but the error message.
Another issue is that each company has plants. If the user wants to seel the data for all plants then he receives the "not authorized" error.
The user should be able the select "ALL" and be able to see the total of companies or plants authorized to see.
If "ALL" is selected for a company:
If a single company selected and ALL plants are selected:
If a single company and a single plant is selected:
BTW, the authorization works fine in BW and with Analysis OLAP tools. The user can see the total of the companies authorized to see.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Zahid - this application has more than one query, correct?
can you try if the authorization issue is occuring also when you have one query only per applications?
Reason I ask is, when using design studio, all queries are executed with merged variables and then I belive the authorisation context is different. I assume you have some special customer exit in the system for the authorisation check - and in case of design studio this can get into a point where the constellation is not authorized.
In such cases you would need to run authorisation trace (I would need to search the transaction).

Planning function and planning sequence of Design studio new features!!

Hi Experts
Recently I have updated my design studio to 1.3 and happy to see many new updates. Meanwhile i saw some new features add planning function and planning sequence.
As per my understanding, Using this features we can enter data at run time. My query is here
Is it like we are entering data at run time and see the changes in current data(chart series)
Ex: Add discount for product 10% and relevant data(in chart) reduced to 10%
or
Is it like integrated planning? Once we enter data in run time and it saves in BW planning cube?
I am totally confused with this feature.. Can any one help me to get clear understanding on this please !
Regards,
Mathivanan M

Hi,
maybe these two article can help you:
#1 Planning in Design Studio 1.3
#2 Planning in DS 1.3 - Using different script methods for planning
As i unterstand, it's only possible to write back in BW.

Binding a component to more than one data source in Design Studio 1.3

Hi All,
Is it possible to bind more than one data source to a component in Design Studio 1.3?
I have 2 Bex queries- one having the current year data(say 06.2013-05.2014) and the other having the previous year data(say 06.2012-05.2013).
I want to create a column chart with x axis labels as 06,07,08.............01,02,03,04,05.
The 05 will show 2 columns for 05.2014 and 05.2013
The 04 will show 2 columns for 04.2014 and 04.2013
and so on
The 06 will show 2 columns for 06.2013 and 05.2012.
Can this be achieved in Design Studio if only one data source is possible for a column chart?
Thanks in advance for your responses,
Sarah

I don't see where this is possible out of the box as the properties for the chart show only one data source
Is the data coming from one InfoProvider? If so could you create one query that shows current year and with a BEx variable/offset show prior year?

How to develop Arrow & Bubbles in Design studio

Hello All,
Need your help to develop below two components which contains difference between two columns :-
Currently using Design studio version - 1.2
1)How do I develop these "Arrows" in Design Studio ( I have inserted arrow as image component but i think it is not right way to display )
2)How do I develop these "Bubbles" in Design Studio. ( for example :- If i use text box then converst it to bubble by using CSS but if the chart values change, we cannot have a simple text object)
Please let me know any possible answer to design above components.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ramesh,
I have used
TEXT_1.setText(DS_1.getVariableValueExt("ZPFS_CALDAY"));
it worked for me

Design Studio Scripting function "refresh" to reload the BI LaunchPad Browser Window and solve the automatic adjustment

Hi experts,
I have created a Design Studio application with GridLayout Components to ensure the automatic adjustment.
In the local mode everything works fine! If I maximize or minimize the browser window the automatic adjustment of the design studio application works absolutely correct.
If I execute the same Design Studio Application in SAP BI LaunchPad the automatic window adjustment works only fine if I refresh the Browser window after minimize or maximize.
Example:
Mnimized and refreshed Browser window (good):
Maximzed and not refreshed Browser window (bad):
To fix this issue, Is there a workaround with a scripting funtion (e.g. ".refresh") to give the user the possibility to reload the browser window by a button or icon?
By the way, the issue and the Todo "Refresh" is valid in Design- and Runtime!
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Isn't this issue fixed in 1.2 SP1?
In any case if you want to manual refresh you have to redraw the chart, this can be achieved by,
reloading data source,
change some selection in the chart,
or change the data source, (apply filter,swap dimensions etc.)

Design Studio behaviour according to query read mode property

How does Design studio behave according to the Read Mode property set here in SAP : (RSRT transaction, query properties) :
It seems like Business Objects tools (Analysis, Webi, …) don’t behave in the same way according to these properties, even if they all use the BICS protocol. What is Design Studio behavior?
In fact, I’ve tested 2 queries, both with many free characteristics (because I swap dimensions in my charts thanks to scripting), but
one with default values on CALMONTH (12 last months),
one with a customer exit variable that I set with the exact same values (12 last months),
when analysing the behaviour in RSRT I see that choosing the H option will add a where clause to the 1st query, “SQL” seems then identical in
both cases, and statistics are the same (see below). With A option, the 1st query statistics are worse and the 2nd one statistics stay the same.
So knowing if Design Studio takes this option into account is important.
At the beginning, I was expecting that Design Studio would retrieve more data cells with the default values query (all months are retrieved and some kind of local filter is applied to display only the 12 last months) than with the variable query (only the 12 last months areretrieved, no need to apply any additional filter, and if the end user wants some other months then the script has to update the variable, and waiting time would then be worse). I guess it could be true with read mode option set to A.
I know that some answers have been given on this subject, saying that even updating only default values thanks to the filter panel was implying a roundtrip to the back end, but I can only understand this statement if H option is taken into account by Design Studio…
I would like to better understand exactly what is Design Studio behaviour, and if there is any benefit to use variables to set queries filters (filter panel usage is not straightforward then), or if default values and native filter panel usage is ok as it has the exact same consequences on data volumes retrieved, back end roundtrips and query performances.
I guess that the answer depends on the capacity Design Studio has or not to take the Read Mode option into account.
Thanks in advance!

So DS takes this property into account.
If the read mode is set to H, then playing with the filter panel has the same consequences on data read and data transported statistics (safety belt limit statistic too) than the effects BEx variables would have.
So
- If, as I do, you hate the look of the prompts screen
- and/or if you find that using BEx variables is not optimal for filter panel management (because if you use the same datasource for the filter panel as for the chart, values appearing in the filter panel will be filtered according to the BEx variable, then the end user can't select a value out of this restricted context)
- and/or if you can afford a first run of the query with some default values instead (i.e. if your queries are performant)
then I find it more user friendly to offer your end users to bypass this ugly prompts screen and to directly access a beautiful dashboard based on some default values, that may be interesting to them, values that they can change in a second time having access to the whole list of values in the filter panel... Furthermore, it may take the same time, with performant queries, to set the prompts than to run the query with some default values and to change them thanks to the filter panel.

Exploring Design Studio 1.1

Hi Everybody
This is my first post and I could really use some help in exploring SAP Design Studio tool as a professional dashboarding option.
I currently have access to Design Studio 1.1 and I am trying to create a sample dashboard to showcase to client on how powerful design studio can be as a dashboard tool.I could use some ideas as to what features I could explore and what components I could experiment with here.
As of now I have used a tabstrip with some dropdowns to show sales data by geography( continent,country,state,city) in a chart using design studio 1.1.I have run in to some trouble with drill down.When I use all the dimensions in the initial view the chart displays values across all the dimensions but i want to drill down on each dimension only on selection of a value in the dropdown .Can this be achieved in DS 1.1 ? I have created multiple data sources editing each initial view to accommodate one dimension only (i.e. one datasource for continent,one for country and so on) and then use multiple charts to display them and then have use setvisible to true to to give a feel of drilldown.Is there a better and easier way to do this?
Also please suggest some ideas to incorporate to fully explore the capabilities of this tool.

It looks like you are not on the right version of the BI Platform. Are you installing the BI platform add-on?
What version are you using?
You need to be in BI4.1 or BI4 SP5 (I think)
Why not use the support package to install the client version of 1.2 first?

Design Studio 1.3: include image, change textbox background colour, Data labels allingment

Dear Community,
I've been trying to rebuild one of my Analayis Office Workbooks within Design Studio.
Attempting this, I've come across some questions I hope to find answers to, with your help:
1. How can I include images, in a local application? I've inserted the "image" component, but I can't asign an Image file to this.
2. How can I change the background colour of a textbox-component?
3. I have a chart in my Dashboard. The bars I want to be labled. But defining, that data labels should be placed outside the bars, there is a mixed result. Some bars show the labels outside, some others display the lable somewhere within the bar.
Who can help with those questions? Thanks a lot.
Kind regards
Sarah

1. How can I include images, in a local application? I've inserted the "image" component, but I can't asign an Image file to this.
When working in Local Mode, go to Application -> Open Repository Folder -> and open the folder that your BI Application is named. Place your image file there. Go back to your Design Studio Image component and set the src to the name of that image file. It should show up. This gets a little more involved when working on the BI Platform or NetWeaver Platform, as you'll want to publish the Image to a public folder on the CMS somewhere (for BI Platform), or the MIME Repository (for NetWeaver Platform). But the concept is similar in that you have to know where to place the files once you are at that point. Also as an approach that should work without any need to publish the image to the platform (as it's a little tedious), please read this document:
How to embed images inside of a Design Studio App without uploading to server.
Or, if you do not want to go through the base-64 encoding, consider the addon I blogged about here:
Design Studio 1.2 SDK - An Image Component free of MIME Repository worries
The deployable version can be downloaded from this blog:
Design Studio 1.2/1.3 SDK - Design Studio Utility Pack
2. How can I change the background colour of a textbox-component?
You will have to write a CSS rule like this:
.testbox {
background : #009966;
Then assign 'testbox' as the CSS Class to the text input box.
3. I have a chart in my Dashboard. The bars I want to be labled. But defining, that data labels should be placed outside the bars, there is a mixed result. Some bars show the labels outside, some others display the lable somewhere within the bar.
Not sure how much control the delivered chart components would give you here. Maybe one of the third party addons listed in this post could help?

Issues after upgrading design studio 1.3

Hi Experts,
We have upgraded design studio version from 1.2 to 1.3. Before upgradation our application was working fine and we didnt get any error. After upgradation, during runtime we are getting 2 errors and a warning. We are getting the following errors while clicking “Sales chart tab” and we couldnt find the cause of the errors.
During runtime, we are getting the below warning message for a text box. We are displaying aggregated value of a keyfigure (undelivered quantity) in a text box using onload function in application properties and the scripts are as below.
var Qaunt0 = DS_4.getDataAsString("006EIO21E0Q3UY91YLO5Y0ATQ", {});
TEXT_1.setText(Qaunt0);

I was facing the same issue and was able to fix with the following steps.
- Login into Web tier box as The Administrator or same user which was
used to install BIP Web tier
- Stop TomcatRun Repair of the Design Studio install (BIP AddOn)
- After install stop tomcat if it started, go to tomcat/work directory
and delete everythign there
- Run wdeploy tomcat7 deployallStart Tomcat and wait 10 minutes
Hope this works.

Odata services in Design studio 1.2 ?

Hello All,
I am exploring Design studio at the moment and I know that we can do scripting along with drag and drop functionalities.
But I would like to know if it also possible to consume Odata services or send Odata requests to HANA database to get data back and display on charts or tables and so on.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Sangamesh,
Based on what you've described, I'd say it's most likely you will need to create a Calculation View. For more general information about using HANA with Design Studio you may find the following posts useful:
