Mobile Favorites are reports, graphs, hyperlinks, and any other item type, except Reporting Objects, that are added to the Mobile tab in the Favorites list in Dashboard. Adding items to Mobile Favorites enables you to display the items on mobile devices. Items can be added to Mobile Favorites from a Domain Tree, Role Tree, List block, Folder block, Tree block, or Domains search result. To add items to your Mobile Favorites list, right-click the item and select Add to Mobile Favorites. All items that are listed in the Mobile tab of your Favorites list will be displayed on the Mobile Favorites launch page when you log in from a mobile device. Note that you can only view Mobile Favorites for the Managed Reporting user ID and password you use to log in.
The following image shows the Favorites dialog box displaying a sample list of saved report items in the Mobile tab.
Report items stored in the Mobile tab of the Favorites list are sorted alphabetically by title. All of the options that are normally available for an item are available from the Mobile Favorites list including Run, Run Deferred, and Schedule.
If you want to remove an item in your Mobile Favorites list, select the check box next to the item and click Remove. You can remove all items by clicking Select All and then clicking Remove.
To send an e-mail containing the URL to your Mobile Favorites list so the items in the list can be viewed in a mobile device, click the Send Email button. For more information, see How to E-mail Mobile Favorites.
You can refresh the list of report items by clicking Refresh, and close the Favorites dialog box by clicking Close.

You can access your Mobile Favorites by typing the URL in the browser of a mobile device, or by sending an e-mail from Dashboard that contains the URL to your Mobile Favorites list and then opening that e-mail using a mobile device.
Note: The Mobile Favorites page is a shortcut to your Dashboard reports that you selected as Mobile Favorites. This shortcut enables quick access to these reports.
The Favorites dialog box opens.
A dialog box opens for you to type the desired e-mail address, as shown in the following image.
The e-mail address associated with your Managed Reporting user ID is populated in the Email Address field by default.
The e-mail you are sending contains a link for accessing the Mobile Favorites URL.
or
Type the following Mobile Favorites URL in the browser of a mobile device.
http://hostname[:port]/wf_context_root/mobile
where:
Is the name of the Web Server and optional port number (specified only if you are not using the default port number) where the WebFOCUS application is deployed.
Is the site-customized context root for the WebFOCUS Web application deployed on your Application Server. The default value is ibi_apps.
Note: When a valid user ID and password is accepted, a non-expiring cookie is written to the mobile device unless you deselect the Remember me check box, which is selected by default. This cookie is valid for the duration of the browser session to provide direct access to the Mobile Favorites launch page without having to provide log in credentials again. If you close the browser, you will have to enter a valid user ID and password to log in again.
The Mobile Favorites launch page opens with the available report items displayed as links, as shown in the following image.
The interface is styled similar to a mobile web app, with button and page titles at the top, main content in the middle, and branding at the bottom. The main content is scrollable within the title and branding frames. In most devices, this requires only one finger to scroll, but some devices, like Apple® devices, require a two-finger scroll. In addition, this interface is optimized for mobile devices, but still can be accessed from desktop browsers. However, desktop browsers, like Firefox, may require you to use keyboard arrow buttons.
Mobile Favorites links are organized by their domain-based folders and will be listed in alphabetical order. This is similar to the behavior experienced with the Mobile Faves app.
The report item opens, as shown in the following image.
Customizations can be made to Mobile Favorites pages. However, this requires manually modifying the HTML that generates the Mobile Favorites portal pages. It is important to note that changes should be backed up prior to upgrades and hotfixes and then reapplied to the new files. This can be done by comparing the previous version to the new version. The files that can be modified are found in the ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\worp\jsp\mobile directory. These files represent the HTML presented to the user as part of logging in, showing Mobile Favorites list page, as well as an error page. To customize the style sheet, you can modify the worp_mobile.css file, which is found in the \ibi\WebFOCUS77\ibi_html\javaassist\worp\css directory.
Note: This can only be done by an administrator.
Adding a corporate logo can be accomplished by replacing the filler image file, mylogo.gif, found in the \ibi\WebFOCUS77\ibi_html\javaassist\images\logos directory with any desired image. Therefore, the replacing image should also be renamed to mylogo.gif. However, should a different image type be used, then this can be added by placing the image in this same folder and then manually modifying the Mobile Favorite jsp pages found in the \ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\worp\jsp\mobile directory. In the MobileList, MobileError, and MobileLogin files is the line of code: String CORPORATE_IMG_SRC = WORP_AssetsManager.getAssetHREF("img_logos", "mylogo.gif", request.getContextPath()); where mylogo.gif can be replaced with the new file name. When this is done, the application server will need to be restarted.
The following is an example of the code.
String POWERED_IMG_SRC =
WORP_AssetsManager.getAssetHREF("img_logos", "powered.gif",
request.getContextPath());
String CORPORATE_IMG_SRC =
WORP_AssetsManager.getAssetHREF("img_logos", "mylogo.gif",
request.getContextPath());Note: This can only be done by an administrator.
