Question:

Is iDashboards going to be releasing apps for smart phones?

Issue:

iDashboards no longer supports apps for the iPhone. The original 'iDashboards for iPad and iPhone' app is no longer supported.  However iDashboards can still be displayed on smart phones without a native app.

At this time, iDashboards is not planning on creating an application for any phones. The reason is that the screen real estate is insufficient to get the full effect of iDashboards. Through testing and customer feedback from the original iPhone, 'iDashboards for iPad and iPhone', application, the smaller sized screen is too small to properly display dashboards.

Answer:

With the newest version of the iDashboards software v8.5a and above, you will now have the ability to view your dashboards on your mobile device with an HTML5 interface.  HTML5 will allow the user to pan and zoom in on sections of the dashboards with the simple touch of a finger.

To utilize the HTML5 interface you will need to start to navigate to your dashboard URL like normal then add a "/HTML5" to the end of the URL

Example URL: 'http://localhost:8080/idashboards/html5'

If you are not on version 8.5a or above contract the support group today on the next steps needed to upgrade your current version to the iDashboards v8.5 or greater.
