Managing Mobile Report Subscriptions

To receive reports and dashboard-style documents on a mobile device, the device's user must be subscribed to those reports. Each Mobile subscription is associated with a MicroStrategy schedule that controls how often the report or document is updated. For detailed information about schedules and subscriptions, including instructions on how to create schedules, see the Scheduling Jobs and Administrative Tasks chapter in the System Administration Help.

Before You Subscribe

Note the following when you configure MicroStrategy Mobile subscriptions, either for yourself or for other users:

• To view reports in the MicroStrategy Mobile application, users must have the Use MicroStrategy Mobile privilege for all projects containing reports they want to view.
• To view dashboard-style documents in MicroStrategy Mobile, users must have the Mobile View Documents privilege for all projects containing documents they want to view.
• When subscribing a user to a report, be certain that the user has the proper permissions to view the report and the objects it contains.

  For additional information about report and report object permissions in the MicroStrategy security model, see the Setting Up User Security chapter in the System Administration Help.

• MicroStrategy has a number of recommended best practices for designing reports to be viewed in MicroStrategy Mobile. Reports designed according to these best practices load quickly and are easy to read on mobile devices. For a list of these best practices, see .
