Application Design Definition
What is an application?
▪ Applications range from simple dashboards to complex applications
▪ Applications expose custom logic based on scripting
▪ Applications are created by a few experts to be consumed by many
What is application design?
▪ Rich set of capabilities for professional designers of analysis applications to meet sophisticated business requirements
▪ Dedicated development environment with advanced scripting capabilities
▪ Drive standardization of analytics content, create reusable UI elements and application logic (such as headers, footers, toolbars)
▪ Extending Applications via SDKs and APIs
20. Story & Application

Application Design
First delivery with wave 13 ( Released to a few selected
customers, Business Toggle APP_BUILDING needs to be
turned on)
▪ Simple widgets: icons, buttons, tabs, dropdown menus
▪ Data-driven widgets: tables, charts, filterline
▪ Interactions between different widgets via scripting including global
variables
▪ Dynamic switch between crosstab and charts
▪ Assign measures and dimensions to crosstab and chart at application
runtime
▪ Clear structure
– Layout outline with context menu to add and edit scripts
– Design area
– Properties and script editor
▪ Scripting capabilities
– Subset of JavaScript
– Content assistance available – getDimension(), setFilter(), etc
– Completeness and syntax check
– Glance several scripts at once
– Global search
– Commenting and uncommenting

▪ Container Widgets
– like tab strips, panels, grid layouts,
popups etc.
▪ Planning Support (Part II)
▪ Predictive (Part II)
– Predictive model consumption, simulation
▪ OData Calls
– OData function calls in the context of an
App Design script
▪ Embeddability
▪ Create Story from Widget
▪ Shared Data Sources
▪ Composites
