3355135 - Story not opening in Presentation Mode when using a Custom Link URL to the Story in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

• Adding the parameter: mode=present, to a Story URL, does not open the Story in Presentation mode.
• SAP Analytics Cloud Story opens in View mode, instead of Presentation mode, when using a custom link url to the Story, with the view mode parameter set to presentation. 

SAP Analytics Cloud

1. In SAP Analytics Cloud, create a Story.
     
2. In Story Sharing, create a Custom link to the Story.
     
3. At the end of the Story Custom link URL, add the Presentation Mode parameter (?mode=present)
   
        https://<TENANT>/<Story Custom Link>?mode=present
   
   
4. When opening the Story, it opens in View mode, instead of Presentation Mode.

• Custom link to a Story is not supported with SAP Analytics Cloud URL API
• This is why when using a custom link and adding the presentation mode parameter at the end of the url, it open the Story in View Mode, because the values added at the end are ignored.

• When using SAP Analytics Cloud URL API, it is required to use the full Story url like:
  
       https://<TENANT>/sap/fpa/ui/tenants/<TENANT_ID>/app.html#/story&/s/<STORY_ID>
    
• Therefore to open the Story in Presentation mode using the SAP Analytics Cloud URL API parameter: mode=present, use the full Story url like:
  
       https://<TENANT>/sap/fpa/ui/tenants/<TENANT_ID>/app.html#/story&/s/<STORY_ID>?mode=present
