Use the Oracle BI EE favorites feature on your iPad to add as favorite any BI content that you view regularly or want to view again at another time.
If you already have favorites added from your use of the desktop version of Oracle BI EE, these favorites pre-populate your favorites list when you begin using Oracle BI Mobile.
Your Favorites view shows all content you have added as favorite on your device and for your given server configuration. This means that if you configure another mobile device to the same server for the same user, the user sees the same set of favorites.
Your desktop favorites and your mobile favorites are always in sync. Changes made in either place on a given server are visible to you in both contexts.
In the Oracle BI Mobile application, you can navigate your Favorites hierarchy. While viewing a favorite, you can remove it from your favorites list. To organize your favorites, use the desktop application.
This section includes the following topics:
Use these instructions to open favorites list and add to or remove objects from your favorites list.

While viewing the BI content, in the title bar where the object's title displays, tap the Options icon.

In the Navigation bar, tap the Favorites icon (the star).
The Favorites screen is displayed.
(Optional) Change the display style to list, carousel, or grid by tapping the respective display icon in the toggle.
Tap the favorite you want to open.
To remove a favorite:
While viewing the BI content, in the title bar where the object's title displays, tap the Options icon.
Tap Delete from Favorites.
The BI content is removed from your list of favorites.
Note:
On the iPhone, to remove a favorite, in the Favorites list, swipe the favorite to the left, then tap Remove.
Synchronization of favorites happens at login.
When you connect to an Oracle BI Presentation Services server from your mobile device, your mobile favorites automatically synchronize with your desktop favorites. Any favorites you have added from your mobile device are automatically added to the Root category. Any favorites you have added while logged in from the desktop are automatically synchronized to the device.
To move favorites between folders or organize them differently, you must first log in to the desktop Oracle BI EE application. See Organizing Favorites in User's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
