How to set the flexible layout for IPAD in mobile config properties file on server box BI4.0 SP02

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to see the behaviour of report viewing if it is in flexible layout. (ie., mobile designed category).

As per the documentation, it mentioned to configure the properties file of mobile inorder to create the new category "Mobile Designed".

But clear steps are missing.

I have tried to create new category with above name by modifying the mobile confg properties file on server.

Assigned the report to new category and i cannot download the report to the ipad.

I am pasting the content of my mobile properties  file here and please share your thoughts on this.

============

# This is a configuration file for Mobi. This file should be carefully edited.

#
# Definition of 'Mobile-ready' documents for different request sources
#
# <requestSrc>.corporateCategory=cat1,cat2
# <requestSrc>.personalCategory=personalCat1,personalCat2
#
# Only documents that belong to the specified categories will be returned for a particular requestSrc.
# If the entries for a particular requestSrc is missing, then the values mentioned for "default" requestSrc will be used.
#
#
# Define the report format in which you need to get it from the server. Provide different options for page mode and
# output type for the data.
#
#
# Valid values for requestSrc are:
#  default, iphone, ipad, bbphone, bbtablet, androidphone, androidtablet
#
#

#default
default.corporateCategory=Mobile,DMFI,Mobile Designated
default.personalCategory=Mobile
default.category.mobileDesigned=MobileDesigned
default.category.secure=Confidential
default.docTypes=Webi,CrystalReport
default.imageSize=1048576
default.lov.size.limit=50
default.search.resultsPerPage=10
default.search.maxDocuments=500
default.search.maxInstanceOfDocument=5
default.map.rootnode.prefix=$a_root_
default.map.node.prefix=$a_
default.save.maxPages=20
default.discover.maxrows=100

#ipad
ipad.corporateCategory=Mobile,DMFI,Mobile Designated
ipad.personalCategory=Mobile
ipad.category.mobileDesigned=MobileDesigned
ipad.category.secure=Confidential
ipad.pagemode=true
ipad.outputDataType=convertChartToTable
ipad.docTypes=Webi,CrystalReport

#iphone
iphone.corporateCategory=Mobile
iphone.personalCategory=Mobile
iphone.pagemode=true
iphone.outputDataType=convertChartToTable
iphone.docTypes=Webi,CrystalReport

#blackberry mobile
bbphone.pagemode=false
bbphone.outputDataType=XML

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

Hi Niranajan,

i think you need to create a category called MobileDesigned in CMC

this category is already listed in mobi.properties.

Any thing in the Mobile category will appear normal on the device

While reports categorized in the MobileDesigned, should have a flexi outlook.

for more information, go through the guides available at help.sap.com
