My colleagues and myself have talked a lot about Data Warehousing, Analytics, Reporting, Predictive and Planning in previous blogs and in several Webinars so far this year. However, we have not touched Best Practice in Dashboarding with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Regardless of the solution, there are many or rather too many features and functions available. This is a big chance but also a risk to \u201cplay\u201d around. Apart from the technical side, everyone of us has a unique personal taste. I see this in projects, in our own company and even at home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t If you ask 4 colleagues about the desired Font Size in the Dashboard, you will end up with 5 answers but who is right and who is wrong? The phrase \u201cBeauty lies in the eye of the beholder\u201d is often used but does not solve the challenges and might even hinder the necessary discussions about this topic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t My aim in this blog is not to convince you of this or that style and design. I want to give you some general advice, some food for thought and some basic principles which will support you in the creation of a suitable guideline and approach to SAC Dashboarding. Even though most of it suits different solutions, my examples will focus on the SAP Analytics Cloud.<\/a><\/p> It is wise to invest some time in an early project stage to discuss this and to do some prototyping or just start building your first story in the SAP Analytics Cloud in an agile way. This will avoid unnecessary rework at a later stage and establish guiding principles to all future Story builders.<\/p> You might have documents covering Corporate Identity and Corporate Design as well as notations standards in place, but do they cover it all?<\/p> Notation standards like IBCS (www.ibcs.com), which is quite popular in the D\/A\/CH region, cover a couple of these topics. SAP Analytics Cloud supports some of the recommended IBCS standards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tWhich of the 4 Numeric Point is your favorite?<\/strong><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
