Embed mode not working for optimized story

[anthonysc]

Hi,

We are using stories with optimized design experience. We want to set them in Embed mode. We did that in 

View Time Toolbar Settings.

Unfortunately, when we apply and save the story, the embed parameter is reset to view and story is launched in view mode.

Have I missed something ?

Thanks in advance

Mat

Hi anthonysc, 

   I believe the screenshot you show is for you to set the toolbar in different mode, it's not setting the story to be opened in embed mode by default. To open story in embed mode, you either can put embed keyword into URL or open the story in embed mode via script. 

Best regards, William

Hi William,

It doesn't work.

Here is the original url : 

Https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/story2&/s2/F1688E05A19DBEA8166F710B4AB88BB4/?mode=view

If I replace ?mode=view by ?mode=embed the system overwrites it and the url remains Https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/story2&/s2/F1688E05A19DBEA8166F710B4AB88BB4/?mode=view.

If I replace   ?mode=view by ?shellMode=embed the system overwrites it and the url becomes Https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxstory2&/s2/F1688E05A19DBEA8166F710B4AB88BB4/?shellmode=embed&mode=view

Have you followed the help on this? Seems your URL is different from what specified there. https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_ANALYTICS_CLOUD/a4406994704e4af5a8559a640b496468/fe8d560fce4f4fdd84454...

Hi William, you are right it works if I put shellMode before S2 instruction :

https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/app.html#/story2?shellMode=embed&/s2/storyID

thanks

Dear @anthonysc,

you can use script in the onInit() function of your story to reload it in mode embed

if (Application.getMode() !== ApplicationMode.Embed){
NavigationUtils.openApplication(Application.getInfo().id, UrlParameter.create("mode", "embed"), false);
}

I hope this helps.

Best regards

Dear Susanne,

thanks for your answer.

It works but it reload twice the story wihich is not acceptable for users.

I don't understand why the parameter is not taken into account.

Best regards

@anthonysc did you set the parameter as described in the SAP Help portal?
