1 Designing Reports and Documents for iOS and Android Devices Mobile Design and Administration Guide Prompting users for their location: Geo Location prompts The Geo Location prompt lets users answer a prompt by using their device’s current geographical location. Geo Location prompts are typically used to filter data in a Map widget. For example, a Map widget displays several locations as markers on the map display. You can choose to display only those map markers that are in the user’s current city. The location name that is returned by a Geo Location prompt is based on Google’s geocoding. The prompt determines the user’s longitude and latitude using the mobile device’s GPS receiver, and passes this information to Google Maps to return information about the user’s location. You can also use an attribute element prompt to filter attribute elements based on the location of the mobile device. To support attribute element prompts, your MicroStrategy schema must include a location mapping attribute that includes attribute forms for latitude and longitude information. For example, to filter a list of stores by the state in which the mobile device is located, provide a location mapping attribute that contains attribute forms for the state name, latitude, and longitude. The attribute that provides the list of attribute elements that are filtered and displayed by the Geo Location prompt, also called the display attribute, does not have to be the same as the location mapping attribute. For example, the Customer State is both the display attribute and the location mapping attribute. When the prompt is displayed on a mobile device, the list of prompt answers is filtered to display the current state, as shown in the image below. Instead, if the display attribute is the Store attribute, and the location mapping attribute is Customer State, the list of prompt answers is filtered to display the stores in the current state, as shown in the image below on the right. Users can select stores from the list for which to display data. 34 Allowing users to filter data: prompts © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
Mobile Design and Administration Guide Designing Reports and Documents for iOS and Android Devices 1 You can: • Create a prompt that automatically uses the device’s current latitude and longitude. While creating the prompt, you must define two value prompts, one for latitude and one for longitude. The prompts are then automatically answered, and do not display in the mobile device’s interface. For steps to create value prompts, see To create a value prompt, page 28. • Create a prompt that filters an attribute element list using the current geographical location, by defining an attribute element prompt with the display style set to Geo Location. For steps to create an attribute element prompt, see To create an attribute element prompt, page 31. Creating Barcode Reader prompts The Barcode Reader prompt lets users scan or type an item’s barcode using the device to answer a prompted report or document. You can add a Barcode Reader prompt to a report or document by defining a prompt and setting its display style to Barcode Reader. The prompt is then displayed as a Barcode Reader when the report or document is executed, as shown below: © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc. Allowing users to filter data: prompts 35
