Overview
Application Design Definition

What is an application?
 Applications range from simple dashboards to complex applications
 Applications expose custom logic based on scripting
 Applications are created by a few experts to be consumed by many

What is application design?

 Rich set of capabilities for professional designers of analysis applications to meet sophisticated
business requirements
 Dedicated development environment with advanced scripting capabilities
 Drive standardization of analytics content, create reusable UI elements and application logic (such as
headers, footers, toolbars)
 Creation of planning and predictive applications
 Extending Applications via SDKs and APIs

This is the current state of planning and may be changed by SAP at any time.
