QlikView BlackBerry and Java Mobile clients version 3.0 are now available
for installation.
To install browse to http://qlikview.com/mobile
from your mobile device. The right version for your mobile device will
automatically be selected.
Main new features are:
New screen at startup
When you start the application you get a list of all your configured
servers. If you have opened documents before you also get an entry called
'Recent documents'. When you click on a server, the list of documents is
fetched and displayed below the server. When you click on a document you open
it.
Performance improvements
Communication with Qlikview Server has been rewritten for improved performance.
In the BlackBerry client you can bypass the MDS server and use direct TCP or
WAP2 gateway. Handling of communication errors has also been improved.
Support for multiple servers
You can now set up several Qlikview Servers in the client and easily switch
between them. Username and password can be saved on the phone or entered when
connecting.
Remember latest used documents
The client now remembers the latest used documents and displays a list where
the user can easily reopen them. This list is the default startup point of the
application, once it is not empty.
Table sort and create bookmark
Users can now sort table data in the client. Sort arrows are displayed in table
headers. Client bookmarks can be created and recalled.
Improved rendering
Size to data is now supported for Listboxes, Tables, Current Selections,
Multiboxes and Statistics boxes. Transparent Text Objects are supported in the
BlackBerry client. Underline fonts are now supported.
Improved usability and Layout
The Single Object mode, introduced in version 2.0, has been redesigned. In
BlackBerry client selections in chart is displayed as a transparent area. In
the BlackBerry client more native objects are used. A confirmation is needed
when you close the application or a document.
Zoom
On high-end devices (newer BlackBerry and Symbian) zoom is now available.
Open URL
Support for Action Open URL is now available. This depends on your device, but
if there is support available the following URL types works:
- http:/https: to open the browser
- tel: to initiate a phone call
- sms: to initiate a text message
- mailto: to initiate a mail
Improved support for BlackBerry Storm.
Blackberry touch devices (like Storm) now work. If you are installing on a
Storm, please uninstall the previous version before installing 3.0.
Improved support for Java ME touch devices.
For Java ME devices there is now a new setting ' Use standard menu'. This
will use the platforms standard menu system and solve the problem with very
small menus. This setting is only available for devices with touch screen. It
is default on except on Symbian phones.
