This will make\u00a0Design Studio not only an analytical tool but also a tool to create a nice interface for some data input. This is also a feature that never made it to\u00a0SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the back-end updates for the HANA and SAP BW platform will get those deployment options up to par with the BI4 Platform. I&#8217;m not sure if this also means that HANA and SAP BW will enable mobile\u00a0Design Studio applications. Don&#8217;t think so.<\/p>\n<p>The other planned innovations are nice increments, although I have no\u00a0idea what they mean with <strong>Advanced scripting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2498\" alt=\"dsroadmap2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap2-1024x726.png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap2-1024x726.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap2-126x90.png 126w, https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap2-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap2.png 1031w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The big change with the previous roadmaps is the planning for three important and much requested features: <strong>Context menu, Drag and Drop<\/strong> and <strong>Report-to-Report Interface (RRI)<\/strong>. These two features made the old\u00a0BEx Web Application Designer a real analytical web tool.<\/p>\n<p>With the context menu you could change for example the number of decimals shown, switch between keys and texts, set filters, add dimensions and so on. This was quite powerful in combination with drag and drop t0 edit your result set table. In Web Intelligence, Analysis, Lumira and other BI tools we are also used to work like that. With these options Design Studio would get really close to being the ultimate BI tool.<\/p>\n<p>Also the Report-to-Report Interface (RRI) seems to be postponed. With RRI we could jump from a report to other reports, while taking the filter settings of the start report with us to the other report(s). It&#8217;s somewhat the BEx variant of OpenDocument.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2497\" alt=\"dsroadmap3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap3-1024x731.png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap3-1024x731.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap3-125x90.png 125w, https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap3-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsroadmap3.png 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So yes, I&#8217;m a quite disappointed about these features being pushed back on the release calendar. I have some customers that are eagerly waiting for this so they can finally ditch their old\u00a0BEx Web Application Designer reports. Now we have to find some creative workarounds to get to the desired functionality.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, the old roadmap (SAP TechEd 2013):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsoldroadmap1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2503\" alt=\"dsoldroadmap\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsoldroadmap1.png\" width=\"874\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsoldroadmap1.png 874w, https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsoldroadmap1-150x81.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hackingsap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsoldroadmap1-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 874px) 100vw, 874px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAP put a new and updated version of the\u00a0Design Studio roadmap online last week.
