SAP Analytics Cloud Scripting

SAC scripting is built on a restricted subset of JavaScript and operates within optimized stories.

Scripts can be attached to widget events such as onSelect, onInitialization, or button clicks, enabling event-driven behaviour across tables, charts, input controls, and text elements.

Developers can retrieve dimension members, apply filters programmatically, format numeric values, and use Script Objects to organise reusable logic.
This makes SAC scripting a powerful tool for building interactive and user-responsive analytical applications.

SAP Analytics Cloud scripting allows developers and analysts to enhance optimized stories using JavaScript-based logic.

From dynamic filtering and reacting to user selections to working with dimensions, measures, and Script Objects, SAC scripting enables advanced interactivity beyond standard dashboard behaviour.

These scripting techniques are used daily in production SAC stories across finance, operations, and performance reporting environments.
