When you create a new story and select a responsive page, you are offered the choice of Optimized or Classic Design Experience. This choice determines the design mode that you will use to create your story. The Optimized Design Experience is the newer and more advanced design option that offers several usability improvements and performance enhancements compared to the Classic Design Experience. However, the Optimized Design Experience also has some limitations and differences, such as the unavailability of some elements that are present in the Classic Design Experience1. Therefore, you should choose the design mode that best suits your needs and preferences. You can also switch between the design modes later, but you may lose some features or formatting in the process2.

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.

An input control is a type of filter that allows you to dynamically change the values of dimensions or measures in your story or application. You can use an input control to filter dimension or measure values and select dimension or measure values for your widgets, such as charts, tables, or geo maps1. For example, you can create an input control that lets you choose which product category or year to display in your chart2.

You cannot use an input control to define a prompt or explore data relationships. A prompt is a filter that is applied to a model before the data is loaded into a story or an application. Prompts allow you to select the data that you want to see in your story or application. You can create prompts in the modeler, not in the story or application3. To explore data relationships, you can use the Smart Discovery feature, which allows you to automatically generate insights and visualizations based on your data. You can access Smart Discovery from the context menu of a chart or table widget4.

 Explanation: According to the SAP Help Portal1, you can configure different add-ons for a chart to enhance its appearance and functionality. Some of the add-ons that are available are:

• Variance: This add-on allows you to compare two measures and show the difference and percentage difference between them. You can also choose to display the variance as a bar, line, or area chart on top of the original chart2.
• Scaling: This add-on allows you to adjust the scale of the chart axes to better fit the data range. You can choose to use a linear, logarithmic, or percentage scale for the axes3.
• Linked Analysis: This add-on allows you to link multiple charts or tables that share the same data source. When you select a data point in one chart or table, the other linked charts or tables will filter accordingly4.
• In-Cell Charts: This add-on allows you to display mini charts within the cells of a table. You can choose from different types of in-cell charts, such as bullet, bar, or sparkline charts5.

Therefore, Variance and In-Cell Charts are add-ons that can be configured for a chart, while Scaling and Linked Analysis are not.

The story option that can help you create a story as a launchpad to other stories is hyperlink. A hyperlink is a link that allows users to navigate from one location to another by clicking on it. You can use hyperlinks to link widgets, text, or images in a story to other stories in SAP Analytics Cloud, creating a launchpad effect. Input control, linked analysis, and RSS feed are not story options that can help you create a story as a launchpad to other stories; they are options that can help you filter data, link widgets, or display news feeds in a story.

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.

The SAP Analytics Cloud mobile app allows users to view and interact with stories, collaborate with colleagues using comments and notifications, and share links to stories via email or other apps. Users cannot create stories, datasets, or models using the mobile app. Verified References: [SAP Analytics Cloud - Mobile App]

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.
