KB47795: How to hide the "View Later" button in MicroStrategy Mobile SDK 10.5 for iOS


Community Admin

• Strategy


The DeferredExecutionEnabled setting in the MSTRCustomizations.plist can be used to hide the "View Later" window when executing reports in MicroStrategy Mobile for iOS.

In Strategy Mobile for iOS, users are presented with the option to pre-execute reports and documents and store them as History List messages. This allows users to retrieve the document or report results immediately instead of having to run them interactively and wait for the results.
 
This feature is exposed during report and document execution in Strategy Mobile, through a "View Later" button:

For more information on this functionality, refer to the following Technical Note:
TN 44193: What is "Deferred Inbox" in MicroStrategy Intelligence Server 9.3.0 and later?
Disabling this feature in Strategy Mobile for iOS
This "View Later" button can be disabled in Strategy Mobile by disabling deferred execution in the Strategy customizations property file, MSTRCustomizations.plist:

  1. Open the StrategyMobile project in Xcode.
  2. Right-click StrategyMobile and choose Add Files to "StrategyMobile".
  3. In Finder, navigate to StrategyMobile -> Custom.
  4. Select MSTRCustomizations.plist.
  5. Under "Add to targets", select the checkbox for StrategyMobileIPad, StrategyMobileIPhone, or both.
  6. Click Add.
  7. Navigate to the MSTRCustomizations.plist in Xcode, and select it to open the file in Xcode's editor.
  8. Add the key DeferredExecutionEnabled with the type set to Boolean and the value set to NO.

After these changes are made, reports and documents will no longer show the "View Later" button. Execution can still be cancelled using the "X" in the top left corner.
