Creating documents for display on mobile
devices
This section describes the ways in which you can design Report Services
documents for iOS- and Android-based devices, and to use features
specifically designed for some devices.
This section assumes that you have created a document with the datasets
that you want to analyze. For steps to create a document, refer to the
MicroStrategy Document Creation Guide.
Creating documents for mobile devices using a template
A document template allows you to start with a predefined structure when
you create a new document. You can use several predesigned templates for
your mobile documents to help you create documents that are correctly sized
for the device’s screen, as described below.
The following templates are optimized for display on the iPhone and Android
smartphones:
• iPhone Portrait: This template is designed to be viewed on a smartphone
held in a vertical position. Only the Detail Header section of the
document is displayed.
Width: 6.6 inches
Height: 9.6 inches, which includes room for the iPhone status bar
Supported iPhone orientation: Portrait only
Graph tooltips displayed: Yes
• iPhone Portrait Micro-Application: This template is the same as the
iPhone Portrait template, except that the Optimize layout for micro
application option is selected, preventing users from performing actions
such as zooming in or out of the document. This allows you to better
control the user’s experience and interaction with the document.
