1 Designing Reports and Documents for iOS and Android Devices Mobile Design and Administration Guide Downloading and viewing multimedia files: Multimedia widget You can allow users to browse and view files in a web folder, such as documents, images, and videos, using a Multimedia widget. When viewed on an iPhone or iPad with MicroStrategy Mobile, the Multimedia widget displays a list of available files, along with information about each file, including the file name, description, and file type. Users can tap the Download icon next to a file displayed in the widget to download and view the file. When the mobile device is offline, users can view files that have been downloaded and automatically stored on their mobile device. Files that have not been stored on the mobile device are greyed out and cannot be viewed offline. Users can view the following types of files using the Multimedia widget: • Audio and video files • ePub files • Excel • HTML • Image • PDF • Plain text • PowerPoint • Word Prerequisites Before creating a Multimedia widget, you must perform the following tasks: • Create the document in which to insert the Multimedia widget. • Configure an XQuery database instance to retrieve web folder contents. For steps to configure this database instance, see the Custom SQL Queries: Freeform SQL and Query Builder chapter in the Advanced Reporting Guide. • Create an XQuery report to use to access the web folder that contains the files to display in the widget. Add the XQuery report as a dataset report in the document. For steps to create the XQuery report, see the Custom SQL Queries: Freeform SQL and Query Builder chapter in the Advanced Reporting Guide. 74 Displaying data as interactive visualizations: widgets © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.

Uploading images: Photo Uploader widget Analysts can use the Photo Uploader widget to upload images from an iPhone, iPad, or Android device. A user can choose to take a new photo to use as an image, use an existing image on his mobile device, or delete images. For example, you can add the Store attribute to the widget’s Grid/Graph, and then add a prompt to the document to allow users to select a store. Users can run the document, then select the store in which they are taking a picture with their mobile devices. When the image is uploaded, the name of the store is stored in the user’s data source, along with the description of the image and the location in which the image is stored. For steps to create prompts, see Allowing users to filter data: prompts, page 25. © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc. Displaying data as interactive visualizations: widgets 75
