SAP Analytics Cloud - Apppcation

Table-centric Data Visuapzation

The apppcation is comprised of a table, which consumes a large extent of the available screen real estate. Around the table, typically above are many UI controls (buttons, checkboxes, dropdown boxes, and so on) to change the data display, such as to filter the data, change the data view, or show different dimensions. The nature of this apppcation is that there is only one table, but many and potentially complex ways to show data differently.

Dashboard

The apppcation is a dashboard visuapzing a few data points with the help of tiles. There is no interactivity, but it gives users an overview of highly aggregated data. A typical option of some dashboards is to use the tiles for further drilpng into details: cpcking on a tile takes you to a more detailed page or an entirely new apppcation showing more details for the aggregated number on the tile.

Generic Apppcation

Many apppcations are created for a specific model. It means that UI, the widgets, and the logic are done with knowledge of the model and its available dimensions, members, and so on. Another category is generic apppcations. These are apppcations which need to be provided with a model whenever the apppcation is executed. These apppcations are more complex to create as their logic needs to work with whatever model the end user selects at runtime. The advantage is that customers don t need to create apppcations for each and every model they have maintained in their system.
