A section is a way of organizing a story into different parts based on a dimension. A section creates a separate page for each member of the dimension, and displays the same widgets on each page with the data filtered by the section dimension1. For example, if you create a section based on the Country dimension, you will have a page for each country in your data, and the charts and tables on each page will show only the data for that country.

The other options are not correct because:

Value Driver Tree: This is a widget that allows you to create a graphical representation of how different drivers affect a key performance indicator (KPI). You can use this widget to perform simulations and what-if scenarios on your data2. However, this widget does not create a chart for each member of a dimension.

In-Cell Charts: These are mini charts that are displayed within table cells to show the relative values of measures. You can use this feature to enhance the readability and analysis of your data3. However, this feature does not create a chart for each member of a dimension.

Trellis: This is a feature that allows you to split a chart into multiple smaller charts based on one or more dimensions. You can use this feature to compare and contrast different segments of your data4. However, this feature does not create a separate page for each member of a dimension.

The Digital Boardroom is a feature that allows you to create immersive and interactive presentations based on stories. You can use the Digital Boardroom to present your data and insights on multiple screens connected to a single device. The Digital Boardroom supports up to three screens that can display different views of the same story or different stories. Therefore, the correct answer is 3, as it is the maximum number of screens you can connect to the Digital Boardroom. Verified References:

These are two of the options that you can use for data wrangling when you import a file for a story in SAP Analytics Cloud, according to the SAP Help Portal1. Data wrangling is the process of cleaning, structuring, and enriching raw data into a desired format for better decision making in less time2.

The custom expression editor is a tool that allows you to create or edit formulas and expressions for your data columns3. You can access the custom expression editor by clicking on the formula icon in the builder panel or by double-clicking on a column header in the data view3. The custom expression editor provides a list of functions and operators that you can use to manipulate your data, such as arithmetic, logical, string, date, and aggregation functions3. You can also use the custom expression editor to create calculated columns or measure-based dimensions from your existing columns3.

The transform bar is a tool that allows you to apply various transformations to your data columns, such as renaming, reordering, grouping, splitting, merging, or deleting columns4. You can access the transform bar by clicking on the transform icon in the builder panel or by right-clicking on a column header in the data view4. The transform bar provides a list of actions that you can use to modify your data structure, such as move left, move right, group by, split by delimiter, merge columns, or delete column4. You can also use the transform bar to change the data type or format of your columns, such as text, number, date, currency, or percentage4.

The story page types that are imported into the SAP Digital Boardroom builder are responsive and canvas. Responsive pages are designed to adapt to different screen sizes and orientations, making them suitable for different devices and scenarios in the digital boardroom. Canvas pages are designed for desktop browsers and fixed layouts, making them suitable for large screens and presentations in the digital boardroom. Grid pages are not imported into the digital boardroom builder; they are designed for tabular data analysis and printing. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Digital Boardroom]

The correct answers are C. Have a clear message and D. Use corporate branding standards. These are some of the guidelines that SAP recommends you follow when you create a story. According to the course material1, “Your current reporting and dashboardstandards will suffice for SAP Analytics Cloud stories. And if you do not have reporting or dashboard standards, this is the perfect time to create them.” The course material also suggests that you should “have a clear message and purpose for your story” and "use corporate branding standards to ensure consistency and professionalism"1.

The other options are not mentioned as guidelines in the course material. Option A. Use grouping is a feature that allows you to group data points in a chart or table, but it is not a general design principle. Option B. Avoid pie charts is a common advice for data visualization, but it is not specific to SAP Analytics Cloud stories.

Chart scaling is a feature that ensures that you have a meaningful display of values across multiple charts in a story. By default, charts are not scaled, which can lead to incorrect data analysis, particularly if users are not paying attention to the actual values displayed in the chart1.

Chart scaling is applied to the following:

Specific page: Chart scaling is applied to all of the charts on a page, but the scaling may be different for the same measure on different pages, because the scaling factor is calculated separately for each page1.

Specific measure: Chart scaling is applied to a specific measure in a chart, and it affects all the charts that contain that measure on the same page. You can exclude charts from the scaling by selecting the chart and choosing Exclude from Scaling in the context menu1.

Chart scaling is not applied to the following:

All measures: Chart scaling is not applied to all the measures in a story, only to the ones that are selected for scaling. You can select which measures to scale by choosing Scale Measures in the context menu of any chart on a page1.

All pages: Chart scaling is not applied to all the pages in a story, only to the ones that have scaling enabled. You can enable or disable scaling for a page by choosing Enable Scaling or Disable Scaling in the context menu of any chart on a page1.

To improve performance in stories, users should use JPG images instead of PNG images, as JPG images have smaller file sizes and load faster. Users should also minimize the number of linked models in a story, as each linked model adds complexity and increases the loading time. Using unbooked data or exception aggregations does not affect performance in stories. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Performance Optimization]

When converting a story to Optimized Design Experience, you need to be aware that some elements that are available in the Classic Design Experience are not yet supported in the Optimized Design Experience. These elements include:

Grid pages

Linked analysis

Geo maps

Images

Shapes

Texts

Buttons

Input controls

Value driver trees

Explorer

If your story contains any of these elements, you will receive a warning message before converting the story, informing you that these elements will be permanently deleted from the story. You can choose to proceed with the conversion or cancel it. If you proceed, the unsupported elements will be removed from the story, and you will not be able to restore them1.
