3361019 - When converting a Classic story to an Optimized Design Experience story within SAP Analytics Cloud it is not possible to add a button to the story

Symptom

When converting an existing story from a 'Classic' story to an 'Optimized Design Experience' story the 'Button' option to add a button to the story does not exist.

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud 

Reproducing the Issue

  • Convert a story from the 'Classic' story format to the 'Optimized Design Experience' story format
  • Edit the story
  • Go to the Add section and view the options available
  • The 'Button' option is not seen

Cause

When converting a 'Classic Story' based on the 'Canvas' this will have the 'Add button' option available after the story is converted to an 'Optimized Design Experience' story.
- The only requirement is that the 'Advanced Mode' option needs to be enabled for the 'Add Button' option to be seen within the 'Optimized Design Experience' story.

When converting a 'Classic Story' based on the 'Responsive' this will not have the 'Add button' option available after the story is converted to an 'Optimized Design Experience' story (even if the 'Advanced Mode' option is active)
- This is due to a limitation that all scripting-related widgets and technical objects are not supported with the 'Responsive Classic Story' as listed within the SAP Analytics Cloud online help.

Resolution

  • Only 'Classic Stories' based on the 'Canvas' layout when converted to an 'Optimized Design Experience' story will have the 'Add Button' option available as long as the 'Advanced Mode' option is enabled.
  • Any 'Classic Stories' based on the 'Responsive' layout will not have the ability to use the 'Add Button' when converted to the 'Optimized Design Experience' therefore these stories would have to be recreated in the 'Optimized Design Experience' if the 'Add Button' feature is required.
  • In addition Analytic Applications that are converted to an 'Optimized Design Experience' story will also have the 'Add Button' functionality available.
