Design Studio Development Challenges

Building an application from scratch in SAP Design Studio is a challenging task, which involves a number of steps like design and functionality developments, creation of custom CSS classes, fine tuning of component’s properties and methods via scripts and eventually, putting all of these tasks to work together.

and effort leading to increased development costs

SAP Design Studio Challenges

The main paradigm of the Design Studio is being a tool, that acts as an Application builder, flexible enough, to develop any kind of application: Operational Reports, Dashboards or Mobile Visuals.

This high level of flexibility demands more programming and web

mastering knowledge, than any other Business Objects and BW reporting tool. Additional efforts rise from creating an application from scratch and fine-tuning it for specific business requirements

The process of Dashboard creation involves a number of steps, like

adding necessary functionality and proper corporate look and feel. One of the main challenges is to make it flexible, functional and good

looking. The process of visual enhancement in Design Studio is challenging and involves:

Creation and Implementation of custom CSS’s Creation and pixel – precise placement of images and icons Adjustment of the entire work area to different screen resolutions Inheritance of the design style, look and feel to other reports Filling containers and page books placeholders with other

components like charts, tables, texts and filters Writing scripts for functional interactivity Creation of different themes and templates to Desktop and Mobile

(Tablet and Smartphone) environments Depending on the company’s corporate reporting requirements, these

challenges may turn into extremely time consuming tasks, and involve wide range of competencies and expertise
