Creating documents for mobile devices using a template

A document template allows you to start with a predefined structure when you create a new document. You can use several predesigned templates for your mobile documents to help you create documents that are correctly sized for the device's screen, as described below.

The following templates are optimized for display on iPhone and Android smart phones:

  • iPhone Portrait: This template is designed to be viewed on an iPhone or Android smart phone held in a vertical position. Only the Detail Header section of the document is displayed.

    • Width: 6.6 inches

    • Height: 9.6 inches, which includes room for the smart phone's status bar

    • Supported orientation: Portrait only

    • Graph tooltips displayed: Yes

  • iPhone Portrait Micro-Application: This template is the same as the iPhone Portrait template, except that the Optimize layout for micro application option is selected, preventing users from performing actions such as zooming in or out of the document. This allows you to better control the user's experience and interaction with the document.

  • iPhone Landscape: This template is designed to be viewed on an iPhone or Android smart phone held in a horizontal position. Only the Detail Header section of the document is displayed.

    • Width: 10 inches. The smart phone's status bar is not displayed in landscape view.

    • Height: 6.6 inches

    • Supported orientation: Landscape only

    • Graph tooltips displayed: Yes

  • iPhone Landscape Micro-Application: This template is the same as the iPhone Landscape template, except that the Optimize layout for micro application option is selected, preventing users from performing actions such as zooming in or out of the document. This allows you to better control the user's experience and interaction with the document.

  • iPhone Map Information Window: You can define an Information Window for a Map widget to be displayed on an iPhone or Android smartphone, to display additional information when a user taps a map marker in the widget. Use this template to create a document layout for use as an Information Window. For detailed steps, see Using a layout as an Information Window in a Map widget.

    • Width: 3 inches

    • Height: 2 inches

A tab bar displays a series of buttons, which users can tap to navigate through the documents in your app. Use the following templates to create a navigation document. For steps and examples, see Linking from documents with buttons and tab bars.
