mSupply Desktop Configuration

This section describes the configuration of reports on the mSupply central server, which will need to be done in order to have dashboard reports show on mSupply Mobile. The mSupply central server generates reports on a schedule, and if the reports are configured correctly, they will also generate versions for mobile sites, which will be synced to mobile stores tablets. Here's how!

Once a report is configured to be sent to mSupply Mobile sites, it will be sent to every mSupply Mobile sites that has the Dashboard store preference turned on.
Dashboard reports need the following properties added to them in order for them to show in the mSupply mobile stores.

Property	Values	Description
isMobile	True or False	This is the important one! Enable or disable sending this report to your mobile sites
mobileReportType	table, bar, line or pie	The report display type
[any property]	#[field on store table]	This is the tricky one - use with care! This property allows you to pick a value from the store table, which is therefore store specific. See example on the next row
store_name	#name	The property is called store_name and has the value of #name. In the report, the store_name property will be replaced with the name of the store from the store table Obviously, the property store_name must be used in the report itself for this to do anything!

Note:

Existing reports can be used and the properties currently configured are used to generate the information. In this situation, the report shows in both the existing web dashboard and in mSupply mobile.

The mobile dashboard data - in particular the mobileReportType and the store specific data - are only sent to mobile stores that have the Dashboard store preference turned on.
