SAP Analytics Catalog

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 20

Catalog
▪ The Catalog is a single access point for
content published to users and teams
within SAP Analytics Cloud.
▪ Each published item is displayed as a card.
Use the cards to access the underlying
content.
▪ The following content can be published and
displayed in the Catalog:
• Stories
• Analytic Applications
• Digital Boardroom presentations
• Uploaded SAP Analytics Cloud files
• External Content
▪ The Catalog tab is enabled by default in newer systems, but an Admin user can disable it.
▪ Specific privileges must be assigned to users to perform the following functions:
• Publish content
• Administer content in the Catalog

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 21

Cloud Analytics Catalog
SAP Analytics Cloud, analytics catalog is a new feature in SAC Home to simplify analytics
access for SAC Users. It offers many new features to SAC users.

▪ A Home Page tab where Stories, Analytic Applications, Digital Boardrooms and other
external content can be published to help make them easily discoverable for SAP Analytics
Cloud end-users.

▪ Filters and Tags that can be added to the contents of the catalog to find out and learn more
about the content.

▪ A new object type in the File Repository (The External URL) that allows managing access to
any URL based content and can be also published to the Analytics Catalog.

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 22

Cloud Analytics Catalog
To see the tab Catalog in your Home page, your administrator must enable the Catalog feature in
the System / Administration page of your SAP Analytics Cloud tenant. Once the catalog has been
enabled, every SAC user of the tenant can see it.

Administrators simply need to activate the Analytics Catalog in the “Administration Menu” to be
directed to a new tab in the SAP Analytics Cloud Home Page.

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 23

Cloud Analytics Catalog
As soon as the Analytics Catalog has been activated, all users will see a new tab displayed in the
SAP Analytics Cloud Home Page. By clicking on this tab, you will automatically be able to access
your own catalog.

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 24

 Cloud Analytics Catalog

It is also quite simple for administrators to

make catalogue objects available to users.
The first step is to create the groups of users
who will have access to the various SAP
Analytics Cloud and third-party content.
Administrators then simply need to declare
which groups have access permission when
they publish the tiles.

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 25

Publishing Content to the Catalog
1
Step 1
On the files page (from the main menu, click Browse > Files) and
select the check box for the content that you want to publish, and
select the icon and select publish to Catalog. (Or else, if
you have the saved story / presentation / application open, chose
. . > publish to Catalog, from within). 2
If the Publish to Catalog option is not available (as shown in the
screenshot), that is because you do not have to permission and it
must be assigned to you.

Step 2
Under Add Teams, specify which teams can view the published
content. The content will be displayed as a card in the Catalog
and the card is previewed under Card Preview. To modify the
card details, select Edit details.

information about the content
associated with the card.
If you want to include an image
in the card, select Add an
image and browse to the
image file.
Under Link, you can add
additional links that are
relevant to this content. Links
can be other SAP Analytics
Cloud files or third party URLs.

Publishing Content to the Catalog 4
Step 4
All Admin users can add filters to the Catalog. Non- Admin users must
have Manage rights enabled for Content Administration to add and
define filters.
You can set up filters in the
Catalog to group files into
categories that will help users find
the content they're looking for; for
example, “Industry” or “Country”.

Go to Main Menu > System >

Administration > Catalog.

Add a new filter, and then add

members to this filter. Users will
see the filters you create in
the Filter panel in the Catalog.

Publishing Content to the Catalog
Step 5
When you are done editing the card details,
5
select Save to return to the Publish to
Catalog dialog.
Select Publish to publish your content in
the Catalog.
To view the card associated with the published
content go to: Main Menu > Home > Catalog.

Step 6
Use the provided sort options to display the
content as best suits your interest.
Use the Search field to find a specific card. You
can search for a resource name, description,
tags, User ID, and Display names. 6

Language Translations

▪ You can have metadata (descriptions and other text that you enter) for stories, models, and
public dimensions translated by a common translation service.

▪ For example, you may have stories that have descriptions in a default language, but you'd like to
have those descriptions translated to other languages so that your stories can be understood by
more users.

▪ All you need to do is flag a story, analytic application, model, or public dimension as being ready
for translation

▪ Then over the next one to three days, the metadata descriptions are translated by a common
translation service, and sent back to SAP Analytics Cloud

Step 6
This will export a *.xlf file. You can
open this in an editor of your
choice. I have used Notepad++.
First of all, you need to rename
this file such that the file name is
[Story_name]_TargetLanguage.X
LF. For our example, we want to
translate it to Irish so we will
rename the file to
“Tara_EGI_Story_IE.xlf”

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 37

Language Translations
Step 7
You will find source tags in the *.xlf while which have the original text that you have in the story. To enter
the translation for each text, you will need to enter a target tag next to it with the translation. As shown in
the figure below we have entered a translation for in the target tag. Likewise, we need to enter the
translations for the other source tags as well.

Step 8
Once the target tags are inserted save the file and import
it in SAC using the menu button for import.
This button will only be activated when you have selected
a file that can be marked for translation.
