Request It is requeste to have possibility to change language from Mobile BI application Currently VA use only the ios language and in some case should be usefull to force one language only Use case/Workaround During report design for IPAD it happen that is not possible to force english language for some specific values driven by IOS (ie date fields in graph, “all the other” in graph ,… currently appears in Italian also if all the report is in english) Workaround suggested for date is to avoid using MMM for month and use MM, in number, not clear if workaround exist also for translating “tutto il resto” instead of All the other”) Considerations   Not critical feature but nice to have it. ...

Request It is requested to enable free-formatting of text that is associated with hyperlink. Currently VA fix a rigid predefined format for text with hyperlink (format underlined, colour blu). no chance to change the format. Use Case/Workarounds It was expected to create a mobile app with images/icons in a navigation bar that enable user to select the sections of the APP. The current constrains in sas va mobile implies that hyperlink on images does not allow to set-up a direct link to the section (implies a double click on mobile that was considered not acceptable). Then it was considered to avoid using images and use only text in the navigation bar. Beside if we use the text it’s should be nice to have the possibility to change the format of text hyperlinked Considerations   The predefined format for text with hyperlink is a standard, then it is not a critical feature but may-be it is not a critical effort to enable the flexibility to change it ...

Request It is requested to enable to include a Navigation bar in VA Mobile in order to enable the same results currently enabled on WEB dashboard On Web dashboard currently it is possible for the user to see the list of sections on the top with tab container (the user have the evidence of where he is and where he can go!). The same report on VA Mobile (IOS) appears without the tab container. Use Case/workarounds We are designing a report for IPad and we need to include a navigation bar in order to enable clear evidnces of the sections available in the app and in order to enable the direct access from one section to the other VA on Ipad as of today enable to swipe horizontally from one section to the other in the predefined order, but user cannot select directly the destination section (he has to swipe till the one he wants). Feature is useful also for giving clear evidence of where he is and where he can go. Considerations Without this feature (same look and feel on web and Mobile) it is required to design specific reports for WEB and for Mobile also when not strictly necessary.Considering that navigation bar with icons are currently not manageable in SAS VA Mobile, it should be fine at least to have the possibility to introduce this feature ...

Request It is requested that can be managed use of hyperlink on images in order to create buttons for accessing directly (with one click only)  to one section or to one report or to other objects (e.g external link). Currently VA does not admit to have a direct link from one image but implies that after the first click it appear the link (or the links) associated with the object and then reuire s a second click. This way of working is interesting in some case, for sure when more options are available but definitively is not always reasonable. The request is to enable the possibility to keep current behavior but also to enable the direct access to the linked object only with one click as already possible also on mobile using hyperlink on text. Moreover it is requested to enable also in mobile the same user experience already working on web where with a single click on the image the user can access to the link if the link is only one The request is related with the needs to create a navigation bar with icons that enable the user to have direct access to the sections of the report Use case/Workaround We have designed an APP that include a vertical navigation bar with some buttons that should enable to access directly (with one click only!) the sections of the reports. The navigation bar is designed including one icon for each section and it is expected that sub click on the icon the user access directly (one clik only) to the linked section. This appears not feasible with current va mobile due to the fact that hyperlink on images requires on va a first click that show the link and a second click on the description of the link. Double click make sense if there are more option but typically a navigation bar with icons (also in IOS guideline for developer) never ask for a double click to user. In particular in this use case the icons is only for facilitating the navigation on report and the double click for sure does not help. Different workaround has been suggested from Sas local team (avoid using images and use text instead of images, keep current behavior since user can swipe between sections, …) but not yet identified a good one. Considerations Despite the warning on usability enhanced by SAS local team, it has been checked the feature with business users and with external media agency and for Navigation bar it is confirmed the need to have only one click.   The functionality is by the way available in many BI competitors of VA. ...

Request It is requested to enable the possibility to decide which objects can be selectable by the user also on VA Mobile (IOS) The option “enable selection by the user” is not honored in SAS VA Mobile while it works on Web interface Currently in VA Mobile (IOS) it is not possible to avoid that users select the object (text or Images) and have the possibility to enlarge it. Use case/workarounds During design of a report for Ipad we have included text and images in the app in order to improve the effectiveness and usability of the report. It is now not possible to avoid that user select text and images that should be fixed (read only) and if they select the object the object results enlargeable also when make no sense. Workaround in place is to reduce as much as possible the use of fixed text and images in order to avoid that user expect to find more detail on fixed object The request is not to avoid that user can select the text or images but it is expected that report designer can decide with the already existing option if the object can or cannot be visualized (and enlarged) during i-pad navigation Considerations Feature is important in order to enable that on ipad navigation the user can select only relevant objet and is not disturbed due to VA constrains. It is expected that VA behavior in WEB and in Mobile is coherent for this ... View more
