Designing Reports and Documents for iOS and Android Devices Mobile Design and Administration Guide
Whether a document section can grow or shrink to fit its contents
Whether to hide a document section if it has no content
• Show or hide all controls in the document in Design Mode, regardless of
whether they are shown when the document is displayed on a mobile
device.
By default, the mobile device tries to display a document using the Mobile
View that matches the exact height and width of the device’s screen. If there
is more than one Mobile View with the same height and width as the mobile
device’s screen, the first of these Mobile Views, as listed in the Manage Views
Editor, is used. Otherwise, the mobile device displays the Mobile View whose
width most closely matches the width of the mobile device’s screen.
Using Mobile Views with multi-layout documents
Documents can contain multiple layouts. Once you create a Mobile View, it is
automatically available to every layout in the document.
For example, a multi-layout document contains three layouts. If you create a
Mobile View to determine how the document is shown on an iPhone, you
must edit the controls in each layout to define how the layouts will be
displayed. You can use the Orientation option for Mobile Views in
conjunction with the Supported Orientation option for document layouts to
determine how a mobile device chooses the best Mobile View to use to
display a document layout, as follows:
• If the Supported Orientation of the document layout is set to Both
Portrait and Landscape, the document layout is displayed using the
Mobile View that most closely matches the height and width of the mobile
device, as well as the orientation in which the mobile device is held.
For example, if the mobile device is held vertically, the mobile device
attempts to display the document layout using the Mobile View that has
Orientation set to Portrait or Portrait and Landscape, and most closely
matches the height and width of the device. If only Mobile Views
designed to be displayed in landscape orientation have been defined for
the layout, the mobile device chooses the best Mobile View from among
those defined and rotates the Mobile View to be displayed vertically, to
match the orientation of the mobile device.
• If the Supported Orientation of the document layout is set to either
Portrait Only or Landscape Only, the document layout is displayed using
the Mobile View that most closely matches the height and width of the
mobile device, as well as the Supported Orientation of the layout.
