Dimension selection for chart in Design Studio

Hello everyone,
     I have created a data source as shown below. Now i need only sales group dimension to be selected in my chart, i don't want to remove plant and material from my data source as it will give incorrect summation result i.e weighted avg.(weighted avg is based on other two key figure in bex, calculation is at detailed level then sum up weighted avg.)
Is there any option to select the dimension? or Is there any option to calculate by summing up all the weight avg. by sales group wise and store that data in JSON then use it in the chart?
Sales Group    Plant    Material    weight avg.
A                       A1    A11        100
A                       A1    A12        75
A                       A2    A21        75
A                       A2    A22        100
A                       A2    A23        50
A                       A3    A31        150
B                       B1    B11        200
B                       B1    B12        10
B                       B2    B21        20
B                       B2    B22        20
B                       B2    B23        50
B                       B3    B31        70
Thank you in Advance

Dimension selection on Chart

Hello Experts,
I am new to Design Studio and trying out few things to get acquainted with the tool. I have a query regarding the dimension selection on chart component in Design Studio.
e.g. I added a data source DS_1 with State, City and Store in Rows and Revenue in Columns in Initial Data View. Now I put the Column chart component on the canvas and when I assigned DS_1 to chart it shows State, City and Store everything on the same chart whereas I wanted to show only State wise Revenue on it. Is there anyway I can select dimensions to be shown on the chart? Only way I am aware of till now is to change the Initial Data View of data source DS_1. But that means if I have multiple charts on dashboard, I need to create separate data sources for each?
Please let me know.
Regards,
Abhijit

Abhijit,
You will have to create multiple data sources in this case and use techniques mentioned in the Section 3 of the blog below to optimize performance.

Also note that DS loads data sources sequentially and not parallel, so the more data sources you have that will impact the performance.

How to handle jump to for # values in design studio

Hi
I have a scenario, where there are 2 tabs - Customer & Network in a tabstrip. When i click on a particular customer it will jump to the next tab showing the corresponding Networks. This works perfectly fine through script.
But when there is a # -Not Assigned customer and if it has 3 Networks corresponding to it in the source query the same is not working in design studio.
When i select the # customer from tab1, it navigates to tab2 and instead of displaying the corresponding 3 Networks, it displays the entire list of available networks without restriction.
Is there a way in which we can handle this? As i see design studio replicates all from Bex query and strange that this # is not working.
Kindly let me know if we can handle this in best possible way.
Regards
Merlin

Hi Merlin,
I tried the mentioned scenario and it works like charm.
Which version of Design Studio are you using? I'm using 1.3 Designer.

How to make a rotating Item Select for a GUI design

Hello, I am working on this non profit GUI project and need to make a high-fidelity prototype with the graphics I created. Most of my experience was in web design and i usually used Axure RP pro for making prototypes which works great for web but this GUI is clearly for a video game and thus some of the way menus work are a bit more sophisticated and "flashy" so I decided to use well, flash. Thing is I have very little experience with the action script side of flash and i just need to get a working prototype out asap, I don't have to make anything work perfectly, just enough to get the point across
My question is on this rotating item select panel. How would i go about using those glowing orange arrows to rotate the whole set of items around the "equip" button when pressed? and how would I program each item to scale up when it snaps as the selected item? And of course the stats change when the item snaps as well.
I greatly appreciate any help that can be provided on this.

buttons have a number of limitations that movieclips do not have. the only benefit of buttons is that they require no coding for up,over,down states while movieclips do.
anyway, if your up arrow is up_arrow, down arrow is down_arrow and your guns are gun_0,gun_1 etc:
// assign x0,y0 etc to match the 5 positions of your weapons.
var index:int = 0;
var positionA:Array = [ [x0,y0],[x1,y1],...,[x4,y4] ];
// click listeners that call rotateF
up_arrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,rotateF);
down_arrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,rotateF);
// function called when arrows clicked
function rotateF(e:MouseEvent):void{
// loop through each gun
for(var i:int=0;i<positionA.length;i++){
// loop through the gun positions
for(var j:int=0;j<positionA.length;j++){
// find the position of each gun
if(this["gun_"+i].y==positionA[j][1];){
// once the position of each gun is found, determine whether the up or down arrow was clicked
if(e.currentTarget.name=="up_arrow"){
// up arrow clicked, so advance to the next gun position
var nextJ:int=(j+1)%positionA.length;
} else {
// down arrow clicked so go back one gun position
nextJ = (j+positionA.length-1)%positionA.length;
// assign the ith gun the next or previous position
this["gun_"+i].x=positionA[nextJ][0];
this["gun_"+i].y=positionA[nextJ][1];
// reset the scale on the enlarged gun by resetting all.
this["gun_"i].scaleX=this["gun_"+i].scaleY=1;
if(j==2){
// enlarge the 'selected' (ie, middle position) gun
this["gun_"i].scaleX=this["gun_"+i].scaleY=2;
// stop looping through positions. the ith gun position has already been found.
break;

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?

Custom Color Palette for Charts

Hi all,
Can I define the colors of a chart by a custom color palette in Design Studio (as you can do it in Web Intelligence) or does SAP intend to implement such a function in a next release? With CSS this isn't fully possible, because it doesn't allow you to coloring the additional line like the corresponding main line.
I've already seen and commented this post Re: Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS, but it's still unanswered. Maybe I've with a new discussion more success.
Thank you and kind regards
Silvan

Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS

Is there a way of creating a custom color palette for charts (as you can do it in WebIntelligence) and install it on the tomcat?
Or will I have to set my custom colors in the css? And if so: where can I find a description of classes for Charts? Is there any description of css classes at all? All I could find was a list of classes for a crosstab (but no description).
Thank you
Carola

Integration of BOBJ Design Studio dashboard via SAP EP

My client is currently piloting the implementation of a BusinessObjects Design Studio dashboard. For maximum flexibility, the Add-on for BI Platform (BIP) has been installed, and we are able to successfully execute the dashboard from the BOBJ LauchPad. Dashboard presents query results from BW.
However, the client now wants to deploy this dashboard to their SAP Enterprise Portal environment. They want the user to be able to access/execute the dashboard from within EP. This is where we have faced several obstacles. Initially, we received a blank screen upon dashboard execution, but this was recently resolved by installing the proper iview template for the BOBJ Design Studio analysis application. (OSS Note 1672422)
Now, when we execute the dashboard via EP, the system presents the BOBJ "hourglass/rainbow circle", but does not complete. I checked the Process Overview in the BW system, and there is no activity taking place during this time.
We are currently at the following release levels:
BW 7.3
Portal 7.4
BOBJ Design Studio 1.4
I would like to hear from someone who has successfully implemented this scenario (Design Studio dashboard, with BIP Add-on, being accessed via SAP EP).
Since we installed the DS Add-On for BIP, or course, we didn't install the DS Add-on for SAP NetWeaver. Do we need to install the NetWeaver Add-on if we want to deploy the dashboards via Portal (even though they are managed/transported within the BI Plaform)?
Any thoughts?

Hi Ingo:
Just wanted to give you an update on our issue. As you suggested, I created a new Design Studio application, containing only a text box. This application was successfully rendered within the Portal.
Afterward, I started experimenting with other dashboard components, including a crosstab object that was linked to a BW query as a Design Studio datasource. The crosstab was also successfully rendered within the Portal.
I then added a chart to this application and re-executed. While the text box and cross tab were visible, the chart was missing.
After researching further, someone mentioned Google Chrome, so I downloaded it and executed the test dashboard containing text box, crosstab, and chart. It rendered successfully in Portal (via Chrome)!!
Afterward, I then executed my initial dashboard application via Chrome, and it also rendered successfully!
I had previously read several posts regarding IE compatibility with Design Studio, but I was always able to use IE to successfully render Design Studio applications via BOBJ LaunchPad. Therefore, I didn't think I had an issues with DS and IE. However, for us, the issue seems to be between DS, EP, and IE.
Now, we have to deal with an organizational issue of web browsers, but that's a separate challenge.
Thanks to all contributors for your insights.

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.

3. Unable to select or type dimension name under "dimension filer component" properties.
4. Getting runtime error for dropdown list, and I have inserted the following code under "onStartup" option of Application component properties.
"DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("PRODUCTREF", MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 20));

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

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

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
