Feature Overview

In the latest update to the SAP Analytics Cloud – Analytics catalog, SAP has introduced an advanced feature aimed at simplifying content discovery and enhancing the user experience. With a large volume of resources available in the catalog, locating specific content can be challenging. To address this, SAP introduced Quick Filters, which enable users to efficiently group and access content based on relevant categories.

These quick filters are prominently displayed at the top of the catalog page, allowing users to instantly refine search results with just a click. This grouping capability enables content to be organized by various criteria – such as Business Functions or Major Projects – helping users find pertinent information more easily.

Additional customization is available through the left-hand panel, providing further filtering options to refine content discovery.

For administrators, SAP has made setting up quick filters intuitive and straightforward. Administrators can create new filters by grouping existing ones, providing a consolidated view that boosts search efficiency.

Here are the steps to create and set up quick filters:

1

From the SAC Homepage, expand the Navigation menu > click on System and select Administration.

2

Click on Catalog in the top bar and scroll down to the Quick Filters section. Then, click on + Add a quick filter.

3

A popup will appear, prompting you to provide a name to the quick filter. Along with that, you should also provide some existing filter values. This can be done by clicking on the two small square boxes towards the right side in the Search for a Filter bar.

4

Users can select required filters from the provided list and complete the setup of Quick Filters.

Catalog editors also benefit from this enhancement, as it simplifies metadata enrichment and content categorization. For instance, selecting a filter on the Quick Filter option applies multiple relevant tags to the content card, streamlining metadata management and making the editor’s workflow smoother.

This feature is a powerful addition for both end users and administrators, facilitating quick access to relevant data, reducing search time, and significantly improving the overall catalog experience in SAC.
