Using Simplified Analytics in Smart Phones

You can use a smart phone to create, edit, and view the analytic reports.

Note: The Simplified Analytic feature supports the Chart and Simple Table views on smart phones, but this feature does not support Pivot Grid view on smart phones. The reports that contain Pivot Grid view (created in tablets or desktop) will not show up on smart phones under the My Analytics section.

These examples show you how to create, edit, or view the analytic reports using smart phones:

  1. Access the fluid component for which you have the Simplified Analytics feature enabled.

    In this example, access the Supplier Watch List component under Procurement Operations.

    This example illustrates Create Analytics Wizard - step 2. The Supplier field is read-only because the value for this field is implicitly passed from the transaction page when the Value Required field in the Related Content configuration is selected. The Supplier field is the prompt, and supplier BIKE SHOP is the prompt value for the report.
