Discovery ‘thin client’ where end-users can create and save
Ad-Hoc dashboards based on SAP BW or SAP HANA data
sources at runtime.

More Control Over LUMX Documents: Documents Technical Component
§ Documents technical component allows for runtime control over LUMX
document.
§ Two primary purposes:
§ Refreshing Offline Data Sources
Trigger refresh for acquired data sources within LUMX document at runtime
§ Runtime Document Saving
Can be used in combination with Authoring and Composites to save changes
dashboard at runtime.
§ Good use case to build offline mobile applications similar to RoamBi.
COMBINE & CREATE SELF-SERVICE
APPLICATION
The Authoring & Components technical
component, along with a Grouped List
component and Composites can be
combined to create applications that
allow end-users to build their own
dashboards at runtime and save these
dashboards as well.

Easier Prompt Value Selections : Variant Support
§ Easier prompt value selection through
support for Variants in prompt window.
§ Support for two types of Variants:
§ Document Variants
§ BW Variants
§ Document Variant Mode allows users to
create, modify or delete variants for
LUMX document at runtime – supported
for all Data Sources.
§ BW Variants can leverage and edit Global
& User-based variants created for BW
query at runtime – supported for only BW
queries.
