Kinds of reports and scorecards that can be viewed on Apple iPad
CU 2011-12 makes it possible for iPad users to view certain kinds of reports and scorecards. For example, users can view PerformancePoint scorecards, analytic charts and grids, Excel Services reports, and SQL Server Reporting Services reports by using the Safari browser on iPad. However, not all kinds of reports can be viewed on iPad. For example, users will be unable to view Visio Services reports or PerformancePoint strategy maps because of client-side requirements that iPad devices cannot support.
