12 In the Validate device caches every field, type how often, in seconds,
the application should validate the report and document caches on the
device with Intelligence Server. This check only invalidates a cache on the
device if the corresponding cache on Intelligence Server is invalid or
expired; it does not check whether any changes have been made to the
original report or document. The default value is 600 seconds.
13 Some reports and documents have the pre-caching feature enabled, but
do not use server side caching. To increase the execution performance for
these objects, you can force the application to use the local caches for a
specified amount of time. To do this, select the Cache real-time data for
check box, and in the field, specify the number of seconds that a local
cache remains valid. For instructions on configuring reports, documents,
or the contents of a folder to be pre-cached, see Configuring the home
screen for iPhone and Android Phone or Configuring the home screen
for iPad or Android Tablet.
If
caching for a specific report or document has been disabled, you
can still force it to use the pre-cache feature on a mobile device. To
do this, open the report or document in Desktop, open the
corresponding Report Caching Options or Document Properties
dialog box, and click the Allow mobile devices to cache data
temporarily to optimize performance check box.
14 By default, users can view and change the configuration settings in the
Settings screen in the application. To prevent users from changing the
configuration settings for the application, clear the Allow users to
access settings check box.
15 By default, if a cache exists for a subscribed report or document, that
cache is loaded when the user opens that report or document, and only
for the page-by selection or layout that is opened. This speeds up initial
access to the application. To allow access to reports and documents even
when the connection to the network is intermittent, select the
Automatically pre-load subscriptions check box. If this check box is
selected, caches are loaded for all subscribed reports and documents
when the application is launched.
16 By default, MicroStrategy Mobile caches the contents of folders, and does
not refresh the folder unless the user shakes the device while in the folder
screen. To disable folder caching and refresh folders every time that the
user opens them, clear the Cache folders check box.
17 By default, reports and documents are cached on the device until either
the memory limit is reached or a newer version of the report or document
is available. This allows access to reports and documents even when the
