Strategy 10.1 Mobile iOS for iPad introduces support for custom D3 visualizations already integrated into Strategy Web.
Additional steps are required to enable this new feature. For D3 visualizations to work in Mobile, the following needs to be added into the Strategy Mobile server's plugins folder:
Once these plugins have been deployed on the Strategy Mobile server, it needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
If the MobileBase plugin and the plugin for the specific D3 visualization have been deployed correctly, the visualization should load in Mobile. No additional steps are required after a dashboard has been defined to use a specific D3 visualization and saved in Strategy Web.
The dashboard can then be opened as normal in Mobile to display the visualization:
Note: D3 visualizations that use external resources that are not included within the visualization plugin may take several seconds to load. E.g. Visualizations designed to load an externally hosted d3.min.js.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The Strategy SDK allows you to customize the standard Strategy Mobile interface, and extend and integrate the Strategy business intelligence functionality into other applications. However, before changing the way Strategy Mobile products look or behave, it is helpful to understand how the application is built. For more information regarding the Strategy Mobile architecture or the process of customizing Strategy Mobile, please refer to MicroStrategy Developer Zone .
To access the Strategy Developer Zone, you must have access to the Strategy Knowledge Base, you must have purchased the Strategy SDK, and you must be current on your Strategy maintenance agreement. If you are a US-based business and believe that you satisfy all three of these conditions but you do not have access to the Strategy Developer Zone, contact MicroStrategy Technical Support.
