You can use links in a document displayed on the iPhone to display specific pages in MicroStrategy Mobile. For example, you can add a link to display the Home screen or the My Reports folder.
Steps are below to create a link to a page in MicroStrategy Mobile. Links created in the Link Editor are not supported in MicroStrategy Mobile for iPhone, except for links created in:
A report displayed on an iPhone
A report displayed as an Interactive Grid widget on the iPhone
An Interactive Grid widget on the iPhone
Note: If you add a link to a text field, the user will only be able to open the link by selecting the link text on the iPhone or iPad. To create a link with a larger area that is easier to select, you can define a link that includes both the text and the area around it, or create an image button that users can select. To do this, you can:
Create an image to use as the button and add a link to it.
Insert a transparent image into the document, then enlarge and/or position it to cover the desired link area. Add a link to the transparent image. The user can then select any area covered by the image to open the link. A sample transparent image is located by default in Program Files\MicroStrategy\Intelligence Server\images\1ptrans.gif.
To ensure that the area of the link is large enough to recognize a user selecting it, make sure it has a height and width of at least 40 pixels.
Open the document in Design or Editable Mode.
To use a text field for the hyperlink, complete the following steps (see the next step for instructions to add an image instead):
From the Insert menu, select Text.
Click in the section of the document where you want to place the text field. If you click and drag in the section, you can size the text field.
Type the text to be displayed to users into the text field. You can add static text, dynamic text (in the form of data fields and auto text codes), or a combination to the text field:
To add static text, type the static text into the text field.
To add a data field, drag and drop a dataset object from the Dataset Objects panel into the text field.
To add an auto text code, from the Insert menu, select Auto-text, then select the code to insert.
To use an image for the hyperlink, complete the following steps:
From the Insert menu, select Image.
Click in the section of the document where you want to place the image. If you click and drag in the section, you can size the image. The Properties and Formatting dialog box opens.
Type the address of the image file to insert in the Source field.
Click OK. The image appears in the document.
Right-click the image or text field and select Properties and Formatting. The Properties and Formatting dialog box opens.
From the left, select General.
Select the Is Hyperlink check box.
Type the URL of the link in the Hyperlink field. The table below lists the types of links you can create, and the URL to create them.
To have the link display a folder, show a screen such as the Home screen or Reports screen, or display a selection screen to change the grouping of data in a document, use the URL for the task you want to perform, listed in the table below.
To have the link run a report or document, replace the italicized variables in the link URL, as summarized in the table below. Links that do not run a report or document, such as a link that returns to the Reports screen, do not require any additional parameters.
Click OK to save changes.
The table below lists the types of links you can create, and the URL to use to create them.
