Filtering data based on geographical distance from a mobile
device
You can filter data in a report to display information based on the distance
between a location on the report, and the current location of an iPhone, iPad,
or Android device. For example, in the image below, a report displays a list of
stores.
When the report is viewed on a mobile device, the user can choose to display
only stores within a ten mile radius, as shown in the image below.
If the report is displayed as a Map widget, only map markers for stores
within a ten mile radius are displayed, as shown below.
To filter data based on the distance from a point of interest to a mobile
device, you must first create a metric to calculate this distance. The steps to
create this metric are described below.
