Analytics Designer Restrictions (2025.23)

Source: help-portal-5128c44bafd04e19a4e1ee352ee1f14e.md (Known Restrictions in Analytics Designer).

Popups larger than main canvas render poorly; add ≥2 widgets for proper display.
Height/width settings fail with a single widget.
Filter line widgets in popups lose source reference after reload; click each popup to reactivate.
setTheme() does not affect popups directly; place widgets in a panel and set theme there.
New theme settings require previewing each popup during design.
enter/backspace keys fail on multiple tables with Optimized Presentation; avoid that option.
Planning mass entry, distribute values, value locks, version history unsupported in popups—place table on canvas/panel and toggle visibility.

Model API limits

PlanningModel.createMembers() works only for generic dimensions (not Date).
Version management APIs unsupported for BPC writeback-enabled versions; use UI publish/version tools instead.

setVariableValue: no runtime/design-time validation; unsupported combos can error.
setDimensionFilter: ranges on fiscal hierarchies unsupported; users may still change filters in tables even if selection mode locked; runtime filter selection follows design-time selection mode.

Cannot run after SmartDiscoveryAPIs without specifying Entity (pre-2021.1 versions).

Explorer quick menus not controlled via styling panel (Filter/Exclude, Drill, Smart Insight remain).
Tables: “Restore to Theme Preference” fails after styling changes; default theme not reapplied.

Cannot save a theme as new after deletion.
Navigation panel: changing sort order unsupported for SAC models on SAP HANA.
PDF export: garbled text possible for CJK/Russian/Arabic; CSS partially applied; custom widgets may be incomplete; only visible widgets in containers export (no scrolled content).
Number format APIs do not affect tooltip measures (only axis measures).

addMeasure/removeMeasure feeds supported only: Feed.ValueAxis, Feed.ValueAxis2, Feed.Color, Feed.bubbleWidth.
onSelect event unsupported for cluster bubble charts.

Safari: R visualizations with HTML blocked when 3rd-party cookies blocked; Request Desktop Website not supported for analytic apps on mobile Safari.

Embedding analytic apps into stories/digital boardroom via web page widget not officially supported.

Only dimension member input controls; calculation input controls limited to restricted measures.
Dynamic forecast: calculation input controls for version/cut-over date in forecast tables unsupported.
Display: after setSelectedMembers() control may show member ID when collapsed/all members selected/hierarchy flat.

Use provided workarounds where possible; verify restricted features in target browser/device.
