Best practices while designing reports and documents
• Consider using one of the pre-designed templates, which are designed to
take the size of the device’s screen into account, when creating documents
for mobile devices.
• Enable drilling to allow users the ability to view information at different
levels from within a single report. This allows users to get more
information from one report without having to browse to, and run, other
reports.
• When designing graph reports to be used on a mobile device, consider the
following:
For tooltips to show on mobile devices, they must be enabled for the
graph series when creating the report. For information on enabling
tooltips for graph reports, see the MicroStrategy Basic Reporting
Guide.
To maximize the graph size, move the legend below the graph.
The following graph types are supported on Android devices:
– Bubble
– Funnel
– Gauges
– Horizontal Area
– Horizontal Bar
– Horizontal Line
– Pareto
– Pie
– Scatter

• When designing grid reports, add padding around the cells to make the
data more legible on mobile devices.
