Background

The SAP Analytics Cloud Catalog serves as a centralized repository for various types of content, including stories, analytic applications, models, datasets, and more. This knowledge base article will guide you in searching content in the catalog.

Steps to Search for Content in the Catalog

Follow these steps to find the content you need: 

1

Begin by navigating to the Catalog within SAP Analytics Cloud. Depending on your configuration, you can access the Catalog from the Home page or the side navigation menu. 

2

Look for the search bar typically located at the top of the Catalog page. The search bar may be labeled “Search” or indicated by a magnifying glass icon. 

3

In the search bar, enter one or more keywords related to the content you are looking for. Keywords can include terms like report names, project names, team names, or any other relevant information. 

4

After entering your keywords, press the “Enter” key or click the search icon to initiate the search. The Catalog will start looking for content that matches your search terms. 

5

The Catalog will display a list of content items that match your search criteria. You can scroll through the search results to find the specific content you are interested in. 

6

If needed, you can refine your search by entering additional keywords or clear the search to return to the unfiltered view of the Catalog. 

Pro Tips for Searching Effectively

Use Specific Keywords

Use specific keywords directly related to the content you’re looking for to get more precise results. For example, use report names, project names, or unique identifiers. 

Combine Keywords

If you are unsure of the exact term to search for, consider combining keywords. For instance, you can search for a specific report within a particular team by using both the report name and team name as keywords. 

Filter After Searching

After performing a search, you can filter the results using the available filters in the Catalog. This helps you narrow down your search even more. 

Regularly Update Keywords

Encourage content creators to use relevant keywords when publishing content to the Catalog. This practice makes it easier for users to find content later.
