3361980 - When using an Optimized Story it is not possible to change the hierarchy of the ACCOUNT dimension in View Mode within SAP Analytics Cloud

Symptom

When opening an ODE (Optimized Design Experience) story with the 'View' mode, and going to the table to select the hierarchy for the ACCOUNT dimension it is not possible to change the hierarchy while in 'View' mode. When trying to select a different hierarchy the message "The hierarchy of an account dimension can only be changed when the story is in design mode" is displayed.

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud 2023.8

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a story off a model that has an ACCOUNT dimension with multiple hierarchies
  2. Add a table and go to 'View' mode.
  3. Right-click on the ACCOUNT dimension and choose the 'Select Hierarchy' option.
  4. Attempt to select a different hierarchy from the dropdown and the tool tip "The hierarchy of an account dimension can only be changed when the story is in design mode" is displayed.

Cause

This behavior is occurring by design and is a limitation when using the OVM (Optimized View Mode) for the ODE (Optimized Design Experience) story.

Resolution

  • The only option when wanting to change the Hierarchy for the ACCOUNT dimension within an ODE (Optimized Design Experience) story is to first go to the 'Edit' mode for the story and adjust the Hierarchy for the ACCOUNT dimension then go back to 'View' mode.
