Optimized Story Experience

The optimized story experience improves performance within SAP Analytics Cloud stories.

The optimized story experience enables content within an SAP Analytics Cloud story to load faster, but not all features and story options will be available when you enable the Optimized Design Experience or Optimized View Mode features.

If your story’s onInitialization event script runs during the background validation of Persisted InA, and you might receive an error message of the failed script execution companied with a reminder that your story is still loading or been optimized, it probably means Persisted InA is invalid. Resaving the document should resolve this.
