Mobile designer / view

m4rksingleton — Tue, 29 May 2018 09:15:07 GMT

Hi All,

Is anyone aware of a way to view / design, specially how it will render on a mobile device (particularly iPhone)? On Wix.com you can toggle between a desktop and mobile designer in order to control how pages & elements will be displayed but can't find anything similar on Sense.

Have i missed something?

Bw,

Mark

Hi Mark,

The quickest way I have done this when working on a desktop is to resize the browser window and the screen responds accordingly. For example in Chrome, shrink the window down and that will replicate what to expect on a mobile device.

In my experience, this sort of test works better if the app has been published.

I know it's not a very technical answer but hope it helps.

Thanks Rod, good option but that would be a app either has to be designed specially for a desktop or specially for mobile device.

Wix allows you to tailor both and have just the one website (or at least to the end-user anyway).

Sounds like it maybe a development request...

Thanks Mark, I think I understand what you mean. Qlik Sense certainly supports a build once, deploy anywhere type model thanks to the responsive design elements.

For smaller screens, eg mobile phones my experience has been that it displays one object at a time (chart, table, etc) and the order seems to be left to right, top to bottom with the menu bar at the top.

When building apps I know will be used on a mobile device I don't tend to do anything differently though I may reconsider how many objects I have on each worksheet.

I think your idea of easily switching between screen sizes has merit and you may already be aware, however you or your Qlik business partner can log as a request through the support portal.

Kind regards,

Rod

Hi Mark,

Just in case you missed it, it looks like the June 2019 release has this support for mobile devices now built-in.

Kind regards,

Rod
