Overview
Since mobile usage of formerly purely desktop based application get's more and more important, we are also thinking about using our Infor BI Application on iPhones. Nevertheless reports on mobiles will look a bit different than those on desktop PCs. Therefore new ways for developing reports for those devices are needed, even if they share the same technical base.
From our point of view this must also be supported for developers. This means, better previews how it will look & feel on mobile devices.
Preview
Derived from that two major requests are:
- Preview with specific resolution, to see how the report behaves on small devices (especially variable width columns)
- In a second step an app preview, to check how the report will behave in the app (e.g. actions/interactions...)
Variables
On the other hand if on wants to use reports for both mobile and desktop w/o copying them it will be useful to have more information available as variables:
- Which device is used (Desktop/Mobile)
- Which resolution is available
Those variables could be used either to show/hide columns or actions which are not suitable for the device w/o having the need two maintain two reports based on the same information.
Additional enhancements:
We are currently not using the mobile app (not only because of the missing support for developers, but for sure that's one reason). So it would be helpful to know how other customers use the app and how they design reports. Feel free to also add feature requests related to mobile development or link other ERs if already entered.
