About the Digital Boardroom

Use the Digital Boardroom to transform your executive meetings. Replace static presentations and stale information with interactive discussions based on real data – allowing you to make fact-based decisions to drive your business.

With the Digital Boardroom you can:
  • Create a responsive, fluid, boardroom presentation in a visual, drag-and-drop manner
  • Find answers to your questions by exploring directly on live data to discover relationships and drill into details.
  • Plan and simulate the effects of different assumptions and actions visually using value-driver trees.

From the side navigation, select Files. On the Files page, select the (Filter) tool and choose Digital Boardrooms. You can further refine the list by selecting a filter (All files and choose Owned by me or Shared with me).

On the Files page, you use any of the toolbar operations to manage your Digital Boardrooms. For more information, see Manage Files and Folders.

Agendas and Dashboards

You can choose to create two types of Digital Boardroom presentations:
  • Agenda (): Your traditional boardroom meeting structure. Create agenda items, then add and combine pages from any story into your topics.

    Use an agenda for meetings with a timed schedule, where items are presented in a linear order (possibly by different people).

  • Dashboard (): A modern, exploratory, corporate steering presentation. Create freeform topics to match your business organization, then add and combine pages from any story.

    Use a dashboard to allow the presenter to decide where to go next, without a predefined path to follow.

You can display on the Home screen a Recent Presentations tile listing the five most recent SAP Digital Boardroom dashboards and agendas you have viewed.
