3543465 - Hierarchy Context Options Not Visible for certain Widgets in SAP Analytics Cloud

Symptom

  • In SAP Analytics Cloud, for some graphs, the hierarchy related context options (for example, drill down) are visible, while for others they are not. All these graphs use the same "dimension input control" as the visible dimension.
  • When applying "Linked analysis" on the charts with hierarchies, for example on the "Overview" page, when drilling down on one chart, the linked chart will only be filtered on the selected node, but not drilled down to the next level.

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud(Enterpise)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the affected story in View or Presentation mode.
  2. Select the widgets where not all the hierarchy related context options are visible.
  3. "Linked analysis" has been set for the affected widgets yet drill down hierarchy levels are not visible in for the chart,but switching to edit mode all the levels are shown.
  4. When re-creating the same chart all hierarchy options are displayed in the context menu.

Cause

If unchecked these options won't be visible in View or Presentation mode, but only in Edit mode.

Resolution
