Application Scenario

The Directory page is displayed in the T9 style on mobile terminals by default. When only a few level-1 directories exist, the Directory page may seem empty. In this case, you can customize the directory style and set Banner and Template in Mobile Platform for display on the Directory page.

Function Description

To set the directory structure for the mobile terminals, you can log in to the FineBI system as the admin and choose System Management > Mobile Platform > Directory, as shown in the following figure.

For details about previewing the mobile directory in the DataAnalyst app, see Mobile Terminal.

The banner title will be displayed as the title of the navigation bar.
