Hi,

This can be done by looking at the session log. You can build a report in QV by loading the session log. The default location for the logs are C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer

Try to use the system function ClientPlatform( ) in a text object.

It returns the name of the platform the client is using, for example, "Mobile.iPhone".

All mobile clients start with Mobile, a period sign and the type of mobile device.

Clients using AJAX will return Browser.Nameofbrowser, for example "Browser.Firefox"...

Hope this helps.

Hi Meriem,

What do you mean by? You don't see the session logs or are they NULL values?

You'll definitely see this info in session logs. Please check the fields "Client Type", "EXE Type" and "EXE Version" in the Session Logs.

Thanks,

If ClientPlatform() returns nothing is either because you're using IE Plugin or you're looking at it on a Desktop

Note!
The function will only return the client type for those clients using the QVPX protocol, that is the mobile clients and the AJAX client.

Hope it helps.

Best regards.
