I have a problem with preview part of Accordion menu.
Just to narrate what was being done -
The data Insertion Type is ‘Row’
When I fetch the data for first Category, labels and source data. it works fine and displays on preview too.
But, As soon as I key in the data for second catrgory, It fails to display anything on preview And also, if i delete the second category from the series, it never resumes back with the older one too.
Although I can see those components in the browser menu, but the Canvas doesn’t display it.
I tried to figure out what exactly is going wrong and idenitified that the whole component works fine on preview, until the time, the categories are not being named.
Eg: Category1: Name: Cities
Labels: XYZ
ABC
PQR Category2: Name: Region
Labels: APAC
JAPAN
US
EUROPE
DOMESTIC
Until the time, I am providing data for source data field and labels field, it tends to work fine but the moment, i try to key in the field for category name (Eg: Cities or Region), it behaves weird and never displays on preview.
Can somebody assist/explain what needs to be done and how can this be overcome ?
I am having a very similar problem, and it is driving me crazy.
If I build an accordion menu, it will work fine UNTIL I try to assign the Name a cell reference. Then the accordion menu refuses to render in Preview. Further, any more accordion menus I add to the canvas are invisible.
It’s very clearly a bug of some sort, but I’m not sure where. I am using SAP Dashboards 4.0 SP 7.1.
As an update, I did find a relevant SAP Note on this.
SAP Note 1915756 - Accordion menu disappears after the dashboard is previewed.
Short version: If you export a block from WebI into Excel, and then import that worksheet in to use as the basis of an accordion, it will crash the accordion.
Resolution: Copy the block out of WebI and paste into Excel instead of exporting.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t quite address my issue, because I’m not exporting the data from WebI. But, I am using a web service based on a WebI block. So, hey, the root cause is probably the same. But, obviously, the solution doesn’t help me at all.
I’ve submitted a ticket, so we’ll see what comes from that.
