This topic describes what parts of the component state are saved in the bookmarks created by the Bookmarks component.
Component | Persisted States | Comments |
---|---|---|
Advanced Visualization | Developer-driven |
The data persisted in a bookmark for this component is specific to the SAP Dashboard Design (Xcelsius) movie being used. It is therefore the responsibility of the movie developer to define which elements are to be persisted. This requires two movie components to be defined via the Xcelsius Data Manager:
The Xcelsius developer is responsible for setting up both sets of connections properly and binding them to appropriate cells in the spreadsheet that is leveraged by the visualization. |
Bookmark | None | Nothing about the Bookmarks component itself is stateful. |
Breadcrumbs | Expanded multi-select dimensions | When multi-select dimension values are present in the Breadcrumbs component, they may be grouped into a collapse/expand control (depending on the number of values and the threshold set in the component's preferences). The state of each multi-select dimension's collapse/expand control is stateful and will be stored in a bookmark. For example, if you select Flavors of "Apple", "Berry" and "Cherry" in the sample wine data set, the collapse/expand control appears and is collapsed by default. If you expand it and then create a bookmark, the control will be expanded when that bookmark is loaded. |
Chart | Metric, x-axis, and cross tab drop-down lists | When configuring a chart, the power user can define multiple metrics, x-axis, and cross tab groupings. When the chart is configured in this way, drop-down lists are provided for each. The user's selection for the Metric, Group By (X-Axis), and Cross Tab drop-down lists are persisted with a bookmark. |
Find Similar | None | |
Guided Navigation | Expanded dimensions and collapsed dimension groups | Any dimension that is expanded so that its refinements are exposed is persisted in a bookmark, so that it will still be expanded when the bookmark is loaded. Dimension groups are, by default, expanded. If you collapse a dimension group, this is persisted in a bookmark, so that it will be collapsed when the bookmark is loaded. |
Metrics Bar | None | |
Range Filter | None | |
Record Details | None | |
Results Table | Sort state and number of records per page | If you have sorted on a column and create a bookmark, the sort will be applied when the bookmark is loaded. If you have selected a certain number of records per page and create a bookmark, the results table will display that number of records per page when you load the bookmark. |
Search Box | None | |
Tabbed Component Container | The tab in focus | If you create a bookmark when on a tab other than the first one, that tab will be reloaded properly when the bookmark is loaded. |
