Interacting with Cognos Active Reports on mobile devices
As we discussed in Chapter 3, IBM Cognos Active Reports, Cognos Active Reports is a new way of interacting with Cognos BI content, offline. Cognos Active Reports are supported on iPad through the IBM Cognos Mobile native application. In addition, Cognos Active Reports can be opened with third-party tools such as AndReport on the Android devices.
Similar to how we interact with Cognos Active Reports in a web browser, Cognos Active Reports on a mobile device can be opened and interacted with in order to provide more detailed information. The iPad's additional touch screen capabilities make the interaction with Cognos Active Reports seem even more engaging. One great example is the 2012 Pro Football Statistics report that is available in the Get More Samples section, as shown in the following screenshot:
If you open this report, you are able to interact with American professional football data in a user-friendly interface.
