Symptom
- Smart Insight in graphs does not work when there are customizations in hierarchies (e.g., modified or user-defined hierarchy structures).
- Smart Insight in graphs does not work when calculated fields are used to create a hierarchy.
Environment
- SAP Analytics Cloud (Enterprise)
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in to the tenant using the Access4 Support User.
- Open the relevant Story.
- Navigate to the page containing the Dashboard.
- Right-click on the Chart/Bar-Chart and observe that the Smart Insight functionality is unavailable.
Cause
The issue occurs due to a documented limitation in SAP Analytics Cloud.
Smart Insights are not available when working with custom hierarchies or calculated hierarchies, as these structures exceed the supported framework for hierarchy complexity.
Resolution
- Confirmed that the behavior is expected and documented in SAP Help.
- Refer to the SAP Help documentation for Smart Insights limitations: Smart Insights | SAP Help Portal.
An enhancement request to add the functionality into SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) has been submitted by the customer.
