Files and Folder Structure

You can access the file structure by clicking on Browse in the main
menu and selecting the Files entry.

The files overview is the central catalog for stories, models, boardrooms
and other objects.

It’s very similar to a typical file structure of an operating system and

provides various functionality to steer visibility of content.

Recommended Number of Tenants

We recommend adding at least two SAP Analytics Cloud systems (also known as tenants) to your landscape.
You can use one system for developing and testing content, and then promote that content to a separate
production system where your users can do their work. There are several advantages to this type of
landscape:

▪ Your test content is fully separate from the production data and content.
Content creators won’t have access to sensitive production data, for
example.
▪ Lifecycle management is easier. You can use import and export features
to promote content, and your production system will only contain fully
tested content.
▪ Performance can be improved, because you won’t need to use your
production data sources for testing and development tasks.
