Accessing Content Shared using App Links on Android

Customized links are not supported for App links on the Android device.

Tap on the app link.
You are prompted to choose which app you want to use to open the link. You can choose either the (Android)Analytics app, or any supported browsers.
- If you selected to use the Analytics app:
- Please provide your password if the app is not launched.
- After your credentials are confirmed, the shared content is displayed.
- If you opted to open the link using a listed browser, the shared content will display after the browser is launched.
Share Custom URL Scheme Links (iOS)
If you are a content designer or administrator, you can embed story, Digital Boardroom, and analytic application deep links into content that uses the SAP Analytics Cloud mobile app's custom URL scheme. The mobile app is opened directly from this link, without the extra confirmations and dialogs your users encounter with a normal browser link. The custom URL scheme for a story looks like this:
For example: sap-analytics-cloud://mycompany.us1.sapanalytics.cloud/?type=story&id=DBF65A20A0FE24AE11F0B2BA75375J95
When you establish a deep link for the mobile app into other applications, these links can be used to pass prompt parameters, page indexes, and filters.
You can also open Digital Boardroom presentations directly by changing the type parameter to type https://help.sap.com/viewer/a4406994704e4af5a8559a640b496468/release/en-US/4818f7d4ffc241d6ac646e4974e7ba6c.html=presentation.
For analytic applications change the type parameter to appBuilding.
How to use to use deep links to pass parameters
-
Establish the deep link.
- Open the story to which you want to pass parameter values.
- Tap on the Share icon and tap on Mail to send the link via email.
- Open your mail box to find the URL that will serve as the deep link.
- To pass your parameters, you need to identify the following:

NoteRefer to the following SAP Analytics Cloud API documentation https://help.sap.com/viewer/a4406994704e4af5a8559a640b496468/release/en-US/4818f7d4ffc241d6ac646e4974e7ba6c.html for more information on how to find these values. It is strongly recommended that users do not use the Open URL API to launch resources in the mobile app - Add all the requisite information to the URL according to the following format <TENANT>/type=story&id=<STORY_ID>?&tenantId=<TENANT_ID>&f01Model=<MODEL_ID>&f01Dim=<Dimension_ID>&f01Val=<Value>.
