Trying out Design Studio on the iPhone
If you are going to try this yourself, take note of the SAP Help:
- doesn’t support cross tab
- keep it small
- portrait only, as landscape is not supported in Mobile BI
- use the templates
I created an application, targeting the iPad:
Then I selected the first iPhone template
I added my own data source to the template:
Here are the results on the iPhone:
Above is the column combination chart.
Above is the bar combination chart.
Above is a waterfall chart example on the iPhone.
very informative and well explained.
Thanks Tammy!
Hi Tammy,
did you use the SAP BI IOS App ?
We tried to do this but it didn't work, because we could not see the Design Studio application in the IOS App.

Tobias
Hello Tobias - no I did not use the SAP BI iOS app, as I was simply doing prototyping
Since you didn't get it working, did you follow these steps?
Seeing Design Studio on BI Mobile 4.4 Apps for iOS
Otherwise I recommend creating a discussion with the specifics of your issue.

Hi Tammy, which version of Design Studio did you use?
Thanks,
Marcello
Marcello, it was version 1.1, which comes with the iPhone template.
Thanks Tammy. I have to upgrade design studio.
Does the iphone template have some kind of restriction?
Regards,
Marcello
Restrictions are noted in the SAP help - as mentioned above:
Also, similar to what Tobias mentioned, I couldn't get the iPhone to work on Mobile BI 5.0 - only through the URL/QR codes. I haven't taken the time to log a note with SAP.
Hi Tammy,
i logged a note with SAP and i got a solution for the problem.
Change the property
document.supported.devices=ipad,iphone
in the zen.properties file in the below mentioned location
<bobj install dir>\Tomcat\webapps\MobileBIService\WEB-INF\classes\internal\zen.properties
Important information: clear Tomcat cache and restart.
