Setup/Using MobileDesigned Category in SAP BO Mobile for iPad

[Former Member]

I would like to use the MobileDesigned category in SAP BusinessObjects Mobile but I cant seen to set it up and display reports on the iPad.  Do I need to change anything in the mobi.properties file?  My current mobi.properties file is displayed below.  Do I also have to create the MobileDesigned category manually next to the Mobile category under Corporate Categories?  I have the Mobile category already and I'm using this but I would like the flexability to change the report layout.

Any help in setting this up would be appreciated.

Hi David,

You don't need to change anything in the config file.

Just set up a new corporate category called "MobileDesigned" on the same level as the Mobile category.

The key is to make sure the document is in both categories - Mobile AND MobileDesigned.

The Mobile category is a switch to make a document available on the device, the MobileDesigned is a switch to deterine how the layout gets renderd on the device.

I have also created Mobile and Confidential Category. But reports added to Confidential category are removed from normal view list and i am not able to see any Confidential category in my Ipad.

Hi all,

I tried to put all categories, but it seems that the MobileDesigned category doesn't have effect on IPAD Device. I created 2 copies of the same report, one with mobile Cat. and the other with both Mobile and MobileDesigned Cat.

The 2 Document are shown the same way on IPAD.

Thanks

#blackberry Tablet
bbtablet.pagemode=false
bbtablet.outputDataType=XML

#android tablet
androidtablet.docTypes=Webi

#android phone
androidphone.docTypes=Webi

# for internal use

Thanks I didn't think about adding my report to both categories.
