How to Use the SAP Datasphere What's New Viewer

Switching between Tabular and List View of the Content

By default, the content is displayed in a chronological view of the content. You can use the Tables View button in the header bar to switch to a table view of the content and switch back by using the List View button.

Filtering and Sorting

To filter the content, select one or more values from the filters for Category, Version, and Release Date.

In the tabular view, the content initially is sorted by version and category. You can change the sort order for all columns except Title and Description. To change the sort order, select the relevant column heading. When you do, an arrow facing up or down indicates whether the sort direction is ascending or descending.

You can also reset the filter and sorting to their initial default setting or clear all filters by using the corresponding buttons to the right of the filters.

Searching

If you are interested in content containing a specific string of text, you can type it into the search bar and choose the Search button or press Enter.

When you do, a yellow bar indicating that you have performed a search is displayed at the top of the What's New Viewer. Only entries containing the text string are displayed. All instances of the text string are highlighted.

You can undo the selection by choosing X in the search bar.

Showing or Hiding Columns

In the tabular view, if there are columns of data that don’t interest you, use the Hide/Show Columns button on top of the table to suppress them or to display columns that are not shown in the initial default setting.

Changing the Number of Entries Shown per Page

Initially, the number of entries shown per page is 25. To adjust the number returned, use the Show Entries selection on top of the content.

Saving or Sharing a Selection

When making a selection by filtering or searching for a text string, your preferences are appended to the URL for the page.

If you find yourself reapplying the same filter configuration each time you visit the What's New Viewer, consider using the Favorite button to save your preferences. Later, you can find your favorites on your SAP Help Portal profile (click the avatar icon at the top right corner to access the Your Profile link).

You can also save the URL as a browser bookmark, copy/paste it into other contexts, or use the Share button to share your selection with others.

Downloading a Selection

In the tabular view, you can download your selection as a CSV file that can be opened using a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel.
