Analytic Application
The analytics designer for SAP Analytics Cloud allows users to create extended reports by using scripting. This development environment, however, exclusively targets advanced users who have programming or scripting expertise. Applications are developed by using a programming language that's very similar to JavaScript.
Differences between Stories and Applications
The story primarily focuses on reporting and interactivity. It provides a wide number of tools to create visualizations and create interactive controls for viewers. It's very flexible and can be used for a lot of complex use cases. The story environment guides the creator through most of the process. By using guided dialogs and automatic functionalities, story creators can easily add input controls or filters to a story, which can be used interactively by viewers.
The application, however, offers a significantly higher degree of freedom but follows a less guided approach. Analytics designer is based on a development environment in which a developer can use various tools and functions to create a complex dashboard.
