Tablet/Desktop

Tue, 16 Sep 2014 02:51:06 GMT

Hi, I am developing a dashboard which is expected to be rendered in both tablet and desktop and we're thinking of having 2 versions of dashboards, 1 for tablet that will be accessed by a particular user community and 1 for desktop which will be accessed by a different user community. Both dashboards will essentially feed off from the same data model. Is that the usual practice?

Does qlikview have any feature to adjust the resolutions and behavior dynamically based on the device? Please advise.

Thanks

Ram

I would just optimize the dashboard on one (or more) sheets for desktop using the requested (or most frequently used) screen resolution and then a second sheet (or set of sheets) for tablet screen resolution. You could use a start sheet/screen where the user can decide what device/resolution he would like to work with and then show only according sheets. I would also recommend to keep the tablet sheets rather more simple/straight forward in navigation/functionality/flow.

Kind Regards

Few things:

1. QlikView does not automatically readjust to smaller screen sizes ( phone / tablet).

2 . You can use the system function ClientPlatform( ) which you can use to check the client and conditionally show/hide smaller vs larger objects. This gives you potentially everything in 1 app but with a customized UI for mobile vs workstation views

3. there is a 'small browser' version of AJAX that you can also check out. Its a canned view that you can't customize but is a 'quick and dirty' way to give especially small device users a more screen size friendly way of consuming the dashboad without writing a separate app and without having to write different UI objects for different screens.

4. To get the best experience possible on both decives, you would build one data model that servers 2 different apps with different UIs for mobile vs full browser. Use binary load to load a prebuilt data model from one app to another.

5. And then there is the brand new Qlik Sense which is completely built for mobile and will adjust the screen dynamically.

Hi,

To automatically resolution adjustment according to the end device can be achieved by either using a macro or an extension.
