Changing the Initial Chart for Explorer Mode

In SAP Analytics Cloud, set a new chart or table as the initial item that you see when you enter Explorer mode.

Context

When you launch Explorer from the story page, you see the same chart details that are in your page. You can change the Explorer view to show more detail or different measures and dimensions, and you can set the new view as your default view.

Note

Explorer is not available when you use a data source that has multiple hierarchies in an account dimension.

Procedure

Create a story and add a chart.
After adding your measures and dimensions, select Enable Explorer.

(Optional) To make changes, select Configure Measures & Dimensions.
Select your chart and then select (Explore).
In Explorer Mode, change your chart to another chart type or to a table.
Add more measures and dimensions, or make other changes.
Add a New View.
Select the new View tab and then select Edit.
Provide a name for the view.
Select Set view for explorer default., and then select OK.

This setting makes the current view the default view in Explorer Mode.
Exit Explorer Mode and then save the story.

Results

Your chart now displays that it has at least one Explorer view. The next time you select Explore from that chart, Explorer Mode will open with the new default chart or table.
