Viewing apps
Note
You're currently viewing a topic describing a Studio feature that's in limited availability. For more information, see: Studio (new experience).
For all other Studio features, see: Studio.
Once a package has been published, it can be viewed as an App by team members with the necessary viewing permissions. This allows them to interact with the app, taking advantage of the views and related features that you've created.
To learn how to publish the latest version of your package, see: Publishing and version control.
To understand how to assign permissions within Studio, see: Permissions.
Viewing the published version of your app
As an editor, you can view the published version of your apps from your space overview page. Click Options > Open in Apps:
 |
Alternatively, app users with the necessary permissions can either access your app directly from a link or by clicking Apps on the main menu:
 |
App features
When viewing an app, the available features depend on the view and component settings selected by the editor. These settings can included enabling and disabling advanced filtering, the ability to interact with charts and tables, and switching content languages.
To understand your view settings options, see: View settings.
To configure your view component settings, see: Components.
When enabled, advanced filtering allows app viewers to filter their current view based on selected data in the connected knowledge model.
To create a filter to the data you're viewing in an app, click Filters - Add:
 |
Once created, your filters are applied to the view and saved in the tool bar. From here, you can enable, disabled, and remove the filter:
 |
Bookmarks allow you to save your favorite user preference (including filters, selections, component states) of a view and share them with your team. You can create and access bookmarks in view mode only, so they can't be added when creating your views in Studio.
To create a bookmark while in view mode, click Bookmarks > Create bookmark:
 |
Once created, you can manage existing bookmarks from the same menu. Here you can update, share or unshare, edit, and delete the bookmark.
 |
Note
Bookmarks are deleted automatically after 180 days if they are not used or if the associated assets or spaces are deleted.
For more information about configuring bookmarks, see Bookmarks.
Using dates in bookmarks
If you save a bookmark that refers to the current date (which would be equivalent to the TODAY() function in PQL), the actual value of the date you save it is used. For example, if you save the bookmark on January 31, 2024, that date is locked into the logic permanently.
To create a bookmark that automatically updates with the current value of today each time it is used, we recommend that you create a dropdown with PQL such as this:
CASE WHEN PU_LAST ( "VBAK" , ROUND_DAY ( "VBKD"."FKDAT" ) ) <= TODAY() THEN 'Billing Date in the past/today' ELSE 'Billing Date in the future' END
The TODAY() function will be evaluated each time you use the dropdown and will always represent the actual calendar date.
This allows you to access and share a URL for this app, with the recipient needing the necessary team permissions to be able to access it.
To understand permissions within the new Studio experience, see: Permissions.

If the content of an app has been translated into supported languages, you can switch between them using the Translations menu:
 |
To learn more about translating app content, see: Languages / translations.
View settings
Here you can choose between restoring the default view and entering display mode:
Restoring the default view: This will remove any changes you've made to your view by restoring the default view settings. This includes removing applied filters, resetting variables, unsorting tables etc. When restoring the default view, this only impacts your current views and not those displayed to other users. For more information, see: Restore default view.
Display mode: The display mode temporarily removes all navigation elements and surrounding browser elements to allow you to fully focus on the view. For more information, see: Display mode for Views.
