Context

You can transfer components in an Analysis workbook to the SAP BusinessObject Design Studio to create a web application. The design studio enables application designers to create analysis applications and dashboards for browsers and mobile devices.

In Analysis, you can use methods that are not available in the design studio. For example, you can use calculations, conditional formatting, and exceptions to change a data source. You may then want to create a web application to use this changed data source in the design studio.

The following Analysis components can be transferred:
  • Crosstabs
  • Charts

    The following chart types are enabled: Pie, Line, Column, Bar, Surface, Radar, Bubble, and Scatter.

  • Filters

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the design studio is closed.
  2. In Analysis, select the workbook sheet with the components that you want to transfer to the design studio.
  3. Choose Create Web Application in the ribbon.
    If the icon is not displayed in the ribbon 'Tools' group, you can enable it in the 'Advanced Settings' dialog.
    The 'Logon' dialog for the design studio appears.
  4. Enter your logon data and choose OK to log on to the design studio.
    The Design Studio is opened and the components of the workbook sheet are added to the design studio template.

Results

You can now modify the web application with the Design Studio.
