The solution is fully <strong>integrated into<\/strong> the SAP Business Technology Platform<strong data-start=\"1899\" data-end=\"1941\"> (BTP)<\/strong> and leverages its services for development, security, and integration. Particularly in the context of SAP S\/4HANA Embedded Analytics, SAP Build enables targeted configuration and customization of analytical app types such as Overview Pages\/Cards and Analytical List Pages.<\/p><p data-start=\"2230\" data-end=\"2494\">A key feature is the use of <strong>prebuilt templates<\/strong> that allow apps to be configured rather than developed from scratch. For example, new cards can be added to Overview Pages, and existing Analytical List Pages can be extended, adapted, or rebuilt entirely if needed.<\/p><p data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2695\">Configuration takes place via an intuitive interface where end users can define which content is displayed, how it is visualized and filtered, and how navigation to related applications is handled.<\/p><p data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2945\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For reporting and analytics specialists, this means that <strong data-start=\"2754\" data-end=\"2866\">standardised analytical apps can be adapted to specific business requirements without any development effort,<\/strong>\u00a0quickly, flexibly, and securely integrated within the SAP Fiori environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7e96ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d7e96ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tools for Flexible Data Modelling and Extension<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2dc4b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2dc4b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"54\" data-end=\"351\">With the <strong>app \u201cCustom CDS Views\u201d<\/strong>, new data models can be designed, combined, and adapted based on existing CDS Views, for example, by linking multiple data sources or adding filters and calculated fields.

Business departments can flexibly define fields and layouts by selecting and arranging dimensions and key figures, including the option to configure calculated or restricted key figures. Filter values can also be preconfigured to provide user-friendly, ready-to-use queries. The created queries can be used directly within SAP Fiori or embedded in other analytical applications, ideal for dynamic reporting requirements without any development effort.<\/p><p data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"1268\">If certain data elements or business logic are not yet available in the standard system, the <strong>app \u201cCustom Fields and Logic\u201d<\/strong> allows the extension of existing data models.
