Using SkyTemplates can significantly shorten the process of creating reports in SAP Design Studio. SkyTemplates provide ready-made templates that include predefined layouts, components, functionality, and styling. Report developers can link data sources to a SkyTemplate without needing to design interfaces, write scripts, or fine-tune the report. This can reduce the time and costs of report development in Design Studio by up to 60% compared to building reports from scratch.

SAP DESIGN STUDIO EASIER

2. Design Studio Development
Challenges
Building an application from scratch in SAP
Design Studio is a challenging task, which
involves a number of steps like design
and functionality developments, creation
of custom CSS classes, fine tuning of
component’s properties and methods via
scripts and eventually, putting all of these
tasks to work together.
The whole process can take a lot of time
and effort leading to increased
development costs

Usage of SkyTemplates shortens the process
of application development dramatically.

applications that do not require fine tuning,
interface design, and scripting.

expertise evolved into the most efficient data
layout designs for interactive analysis.
After installing the SkyTemplate, simply link

3. SAP Design Studio Challenges
The main paradigm of the Design Studio is being a tool, that acts as
an Application builder, flexible enough, to develop any kind of
application: Operational Reports, Dashboards or Mobile Visuals.
This high level of flexibility demands more programming and web
mastering knowledge, than any other Business Objects and BW
reporting tool. Additional efforts rise from creating an application
from scratch and fine-tuning it for specific business requirements
The process of Dashboard creation involves a number of steps, like
adding necessary functionality and proper corporate look and feel.
One of the main challenges is to make it flexible, functional and good
looking. The process of visual enhancement in Design Studio is
challenging and involves:
 Creation and Implementation of custom CSS’s
 Creation and pixel – precise placement of images and icons
 Adjustment of the entire work area to different screen resolutions
 Inheritance of the design style, look and feel to other reports
 Filling containers and page books placeholders with other
components like charts, tables, texts and filters
 Writing scripts for functional interactivity
 Creation of different themes and templates to Desktop and Mobile
(Tablet and Smartphone) environments
Depending on the company’s corporate reporting requirements, these
challenges may turn into extremely time consuming tasks, and
involve wide range of competencies and expertise
Use SkyTemplates to Meet the
Challenges
