The Optimized Design Experience is a new user interface for SAP Analytics Cloud that simplifies and enhances the story design process. The Optimized Design Experience offers some benefits over the Classic Design Experience, such as:

• Improved tooltip interactions: You can hover over any data point in a chart to see a tooltip with more information. You can also click on the tooltip to access more actions, such as filtering, drilling, commenting, etc.
• Ghost loading indicators: You can see a ghost image of the elements on a page while they are loading. This gives you a preview of the layout and size of the elements before they are fully rendered.
• Data Analyzer: You can use Data Analyzer to quickly create ad hoc analysis based on models or datasets. You can also save your analysis as stories or pin them to your home page.
• Point of Interest: You can use Point of Interest to highlight a specific data point or area in a chart. You can also add annotations, comments, or links to the Point of Interest.
• Time Series chart: You can use Time Series chart to create interactive and animated charts that show how data changes over time. You can also customize the appearance and behavior of the Time Series chart.

Therefore, the correct answer is Improved tooltip interactions and Ghost loading indicators, as they are the benefits of using the Optimized Design Experience. Verified References:

The model setting Optimize Story Building Performance prevents the automatic refresh of data during story design. This means that users can design stories without waiting for the data to load every time they make a change. Users can manually refresh the data when they want to see the updated results. The model setting does not affect the design experience, the parallel processing, or the story editing. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Optimize Story Building Performance]

A calculated measure is a type of measure that is derived from an expression or formula based on existing measures or dimensions. You can use calculated measures to perform various calculations on your data, such as ratios, percentages, differences, etc. However, some calculated measures may result in errors or invalid values when the denominator is null or zero. For example, if you try to calculate the profit margin as (Profit / Revenue) * 100, and the revenue is zero, you will get an error. In such cases, SAP Analytics Cloud displays a symbol instead of a value for the calculated measure. The symbol that is displayed when the denominator is null or zero is # (hash sign). Therefore, the correct answer is #, as it is the symbol that is displayed when the denominator is null or zero in a calculated measure. Verified References:

You can add a section to a canvas page in a story. A section is a container that holds one or more widgets and can be used to group related content or apply filters. A digital boardroom, a table, and a chart are not valid targets for adding a section; they are either different types of presentations or widgets that can be added to a section. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Sections]

A component filter affects only itself, meaning that it applies a filter to the data displayed in a single widget, such as a chart or a table. A component filter does not affect the story, the version, or the model; these are different levels of filtering that can be applied to the data in a story.

When break grouping is enabled, the sort is applied to the inner dimension of the chart or table, according to the SAP Analytics Cloud Help1. Break grouping is a feature that allows you to sort data points in a chart or table by breaking the grouping of the dimensions in the category axis2. For example, if you have a chart with two dimensions in the category axis, such as Country and Product, and you enable break grouping, you can sort the data points by Product instead of Country2. This can help you compare the performance of different products across countries. You can also choose to sort by measure values or custom order2.

The other options are not correct. Option A. The outer dimension is the dimension that is not affected by the break grouping feature. Option C. The vertical dimension and option D. The horizontal dimension are not relevant terms for break grouping, as it depends on how you arrange the dimensions in the category axis.

In the Optimized Design Experience, Data Analyzer is a new tool that replaces Explorer. Data Analyzer allows you to quickly create ad hoc analysis based on models or datasets. You can use Data Analyzer to explore data, create charts and tables, apply filters and calculations, and save your analysis as stories. Data Analyzer is similar to Explorer, but with some enhancements and new features, such as:

• Support for both models and datasets
• Support for planning models
• Support for story calculations
• Support for linked analysis
• Support for responsive pages

Therefore, the correct answer is Data Analyzer, as it is the tool that replaces Explorer in the Optimized Design Experience

You can define a calculation for a table in three ways:

• Table: You can add a simple calculation by selecting two measures in a table, right-clicking, choosing Add calculation, and choosing the calculation you want. You can also add a repeating or single column or row to a table by right-clicking on a measure or dimension and choosing Add Calculation1.
• Calculation editor: You can open the calculation editor from the drop-down menu of Measures or Dimensions in the Designer Panel and create complex calculations for a chart or table. For each type of calculation, a new calculated member is created. You can also use dimension attributes as part of a calculation2.
• Story: You can create a calculated measure in the Builder pane of a story. When setting up your calculation, you apply the typical formula functions, conditions, and operators to the data contained in your model. Calculated measures allow you to perform mathematical and Boolean operations on your data1.

The Optimized Design Experience is a new design option for creating stories in SAP Analytics Cloud. It offers several usability improvements and performance enhancements compared to the Classic Design Experience. However, it also has some limitations anddifferences, such as the unavailability of some elements that are present in the Classic Design Experience1.

The following filter options are supported in the Optimized Design Experience:

• Widget: This option allows you to apply filters to a specific widget, such as a chart, table, or map, that are based on the same model. You can use the Filter area in the Builder pane to pre-filter the data that the widget displays2.
• Story: This option allows you to apply filters to all widgets in a story that are based on the same model. You can use the Story Filters tool in the Tools section to select dimensions or measures that you want to filter by2.
• Input Control: This option allows you to add interactive filters to a story page that allow the story viewers to filter data, compare figures, and explore relationships directly from the page. You can use the Input Controls tool in the Tools section to select dimensions or measures that you want to use as input controls3.

The following filter options are not supported in the Optimized Design Experience:

• Controls: This option is not a valid filter option in SAP Analytics Cloud. It may refer to input controls, which are supported, or chart controls, which are not supported. Chart controls are buttons that allow you to change the chart type, switch between absolute and relative values, or drill up and down in a hierarchy. Chart controls are available only in the Classic Design Experience4.
• Section: This option is not a filter option, but a way of organizing a story into different parts based on a dimension. A section creates a separate page for each member of the dimension, and displays the same widgets on each page with the data filtered by the section dimension. Sections are available in both the Optimized and Classic Design Experiences.

The Custom Expression Editor is a tool that allows you to create complex calculations using a syntax called Wrangling Expression Language (WEL). WEL is a domain-specific language that is designed for data manipulation and analysis. WEL supports various operators, functions, and constants that you can use to create custom expressions. You can access the Custom Expression Editor from various places in SAP Analytics Cloud, such as models, stories, datasets, etc. Therefore, the correct answer is Wrangling Expression Language, as it is the language that the Custom Expression Editor uses.

The correct answers are B. Public and D. Embedded. These are two of the dataset types that SAP Analytics Cloud supports, according to the SAP Help Portal1. A public dataset is a standalone dataset that is stored in SAP Analytics Cloud and can be found in a folder location on the Files page1. An embedded dataset is a dataset that is saved within a story and does not appear in the Files list1. You can convert an embedded dataset to a public one if you want others to be able to use it1.

The other options, A. Import and C. Live, are not dataset types, but data source types. You can import data from a file or other data source to create a dataset or a model2. You can also use live data from a source system to create a model, but not a dataset2.

Using the SAP Analytics Cloud mobile app, the page type that is required for viewing stories is responsive. Responsive pages are designed to adapt to different screen sizes and orientations, making them suitable for mobile devices. Canvas and grid pages are not supported by the mobile app; they are designed for desktop browsers and fixed layouts. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Mobile App]

An input control is a type of filter that allows you to dynamically change the values of dimensions or measures in your story or application. You can use an input control to filter dimension or measure values and select dimension or measure values for your widgets, such as charts, tables, or geo maps1. For example, you can create an input control that lets you choose which product category or year to display in your chart2.

You cannot use an input control to define a prompt or explore data relationships. A prompt is a filter that is applied to a model before the data is loaded into a story or an application. Prompts allow you to select the data that you want to see in your story or application. You can create prompts in the modeler, not in the story or application3. To explore data relationships, you can use the Smart Discovery feature, which allows you to automatically generate insights and visualizations based on your data. You can access Smart Discovery from the context menu of a chart or table widget4.
