Configuring blank cells: how to avoid multiple doc versions

[alfons_gonzalez]

Hi,

We are defining our strategy to implement the development of webi documents that may be either delivered to the user through the BI Web Portal (LaunchPad) or the iOS mobile client. One of the main issues that we have found when trying to achieve this desired scenario is how to handle the blank cells.

By applying the steps documented by the corresponding Product Guides (p.73 Designing Business Intelligence (BI) Reports Optimized For the Mobile for iOS Application) we are able to obtain satisfactory results by using mobile clients, but as the same guide mentions, the end-user experience through the Web browser when seeing the same document is quite unsatisfactory: the cell content appears as an hyperlink (blue and underlined). Even if we change the hyperlink format it always exist the risk that the end user click on the link.

There is some way to avoid the link behaviour of the blank cell when the document is delivered through the Web channel? Our main issue comes from the fact that the laction protocol is not recognized by any browser, so an error appear when user click on it (see sample below),

<a href="laction://cell?attachedto='block1'&valign='top'&halign='left'" style="color: #000000; text-decoration: none; cursor: default;">Data Source GeoHive</a>

Thanks in advance,

Alfons

Hi Alfons,

did you try the Flexi layout (MobileDesigned Category) instead of the intelligent layout?

Best regards
