Product development recently
announce availability of Oracle BI Mobile App Designer which is a new design

devices.
Announcement
Oracle BI Mobile App Designer is
a new design tool for business users easily to create stunning and interactive
analytical applications for use on any major mobile device.
With Oracle BI Mobile, businesses
have been able to deploy full interactive dashboards with zero additional
development using Oracle BI Mobile HD on iOS devices, and now can create
purpose-built mobile analytic applications for smartphones and tablets with drag-and-drop
simplicity using Oracle BI Mobile App Designer. BI Mobile App Designer
complements BI Mobile HD and is packaged with BI Foundation Suite and the BI
Mobile option to OBIEE at no additional cost.
Features
Mobile-first Business Apps – BI Mobile App Designer is the ideal
solution for users that want targeted, business-specific mobile apps that are
easy and fast to build, require no programming expertise, and can be delivered
to users across all the major mobile platforms and devices. Apps are built with
support for touch and gestural interactions built in.
Intuitive App Design Interface – BI Mobile App Designer has a
simple drag-and-drop interface that allows business users to select their data
visualizations—including tables, charts, navigation panels, repeating grids,
images, text narrative, etc.—and then drop these elements onto a palette to
create mobile apps within minutes. Third-party plug-ins like Google Maps,
Sunburst visualizer, etc., can be incorporated and used in a similar manner. A
preview function allows users to preview their apps within a computer’s
browser, or on a mobile device by scanning a QR code – without requiring any
installation or configuration.
Portable Device, Platform, Screen-size Design – BI Mobile App
Designer is certified to support iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile smart phones
and tablets. Since it supports HTML5, most mobile browsers can run BI
Mobile App Designer apps; it requires no plug-in, no installation, and no
download from a third-party app store.
Enterprise Integration - Oracle BI Mobile App Designer is a part of
and fully integrated with the Oracle BI Foundation. Users can create mobile
apps with enterprise data from the BI Semantic layer (RPD), with data from BI
Publisher data models, or even Excel data files, with seamless support for and
the benefits of role-based data-level security that the Oracle BI Foundation
suite provides.
