button to take:
• Run report or document: Execute a specific report or document. To
specify the report or document, click the arrow next to this option,
select the project containing the report or document, and browse to
the report or document. To create faster response times on iPad or
Android Tablet by pre-caching the document or report in the
background when the application starts, select the Pre-cache at
startup check box. To pre-cache the supporting objects for the report
or document, select the desired folder from the Include a folder of
supporting objects drop-down list.
To
ensure that pre-cached objects are used by the application,
select the Cache real-time data for check box in the iPad or
Tablet Settings tab. For detailed instructions on configuring
this option, see Configuring MicroStrategy Mobile for iPhone
or iPad, page 127 or Configuring MicroStrategy Mobile for
Android, page 135.
• Browse folder: Open a specific folder. To specify the folder, click the
arrow next to this option, select the project containing the folder, and
browse to the folder.
You
can allow MicroStrategy Mobile for iPad users to browse
folders made available over the web through the WebDAV
protocol. To do this, you must create an External Mobile Folder
and specify it as a Browse Folder. For detailed steps to create
an External Mobile Folder, see the MicroStrategy Advanced
Reporting Guide.
By default, Mobile Server checks for a cached subscription when a
Mobile user selects a report or document from the browse folder. To
execute the report or document without checking for a cached
subscription, clear the Check subscriptions check box. Disabling
