to display multiple attributes or metrics in a column as stacked together in a
single row or allow users to toggle between the values displayed in the
column, and so on.
You can allow users to directly edit the data displayed in the widget using a
mobile device. For example, you create a widget to display a list of time off
requests. A user can tap a button next to each request to display a check mark
for approved requests and an X for rejected requests, then submit their
changes to their data source. To accomplish this, you must link the widget's
Grid/Graph to a Transaction Services report. For steps and background
information about Transaction Services, see the Advanced Documents
chapter in the Document Creation Guide.
You can allow users to perform an action when they tap an attribute or
metric in the widget on a mobile device. To do this, you must assign the
action to the attribute or metric on the widget's Grid/Graph in Web. For
example, if several customer regions are displayed in an Interactive Grid
widget, you can allow users to tap the name of a customer region to update
the data displayed in another grid in the document. Only one action can be
performed for each attribute or metric. If more than one action is enabled for
an attribute or metric, the action with the highest priority is performed. You
can enable the following actions for a value in the widget, in order of highest
to lowest priority:
• Edit data for the attribute or metric, by displaying the attribute or metric
as an input object control in a Transaction Services-enabled document.
For steps and background information about Transaction Services, see
the Advanced Documents chapter in the Document Creation Guide.
