3800079 - Story title not displayed when opening story via link in lite viewer - SAP Analytics Cloud

Symptom

When opening an ODE story from the link, the story name at the top is not displayed

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud Enterprise 2026 QRC3
  • SAP Analytics Cloud 1.0
  • Story Design & Visualizations

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open a story directly via a URL in view mode.
  2. Observe that the story title at the top is not displayed.

Cause

Opening a story via URL loads the Lite Viewer, which is designed for performance and does not support file navigation/title bar; therefore, the story name is not shown.

Lite Viewer Usage Restrictions

"The Lite Viewer is an extension of the story experience. It is a viewer that is designed to load the lightest version of the application.

While the Lite Viewer improves the performance of stories that are opened through a URL, it does not support all the features that are currently offered in the full viewer."

Unsupported Lite Viewer Runtime Features

Resolution

  1. Open the story from its folder path within the application to launch it in the full viewer, where the story title is displayed.
  2. If showing the title while using Lite Viewer is required, add a Text widget to the story canvas that includes the story name so it appears during viewing.
  3. Refer to the Lite Viewer documentation to review unsupported runtime features and plan accordingly.
