Using the Fluid Component Real-Time Search and Fluid Pivot Grid in Touch Friendly Devices

You can use a smart phone or other touch friendly device to view Pivot Grid models and perform Component Real-Time Search.

These are the functions and limitations of using a smart phone to view Pivot Grid models or to perform component real time search:

  • Application developers must set the view of the Pivot Grid models as list views. Grid view is not available on a smart phone. The result view must be set to List mode or List or Grid mode.

  • If the List view is not set for the Pivot Grid model, an error message appears on the Component search page. In the Fluid Pivot Grid Viewer, the detail view is not available. Only the chart is available and error message is not displayed.

  • The multi-dimensional grid view (that enables you to drag and drop and to pivot) is not available.

  • If a Pivot Grid Only or a Pivot Grid and Chart model is viewed on a smart phone, it appears as a Chart Only view and you cannot save the chart layout. The Save option is not available in these cases.

  • Chart data points are not actionable.

  • Row-level, bulk, and aggregate related actions are not available.

  • The chart is best viewed in landscape mode.

  • The Chart Options, Update Filters, Save, and Reset options are available in the Options Menu list based on the settings in Pivot Grid Wizard, Step 4. The Export Data and View Pivot Grid options are not available.

  • The facets and prompts appear in full page after you select these options.
