Allowing panel change with a horizontal swipe on iPad documents

A selector allows users to change the panels of a panel stack. By default, a selector displays as the selector style (such as buttons or links) and in the location on the document defined when the selector was created.  

For documents displayed on an iPad with MicroStrategy Mobile, panels can be changed with a horizontal swipe as well. Swipe right to view the next panel; swipe left to view the previous panel. This property applies only to iPads that have the MicroStrategy Mobile application.

You can disable this method of changing panels. If you do disable it, panel selector arrows are no longer displayed on the panel stack in Desktop and MicroStrategy Web. These arrows allow a user to change panels. If they are disabled, a selector must be created for users to change panels. For an example of the arrows, and information on replacing them, see Enabling panel selector arrows on a panel stack.

Note: In addition, MicroStrategy Mobile for iPad lets you dock a panel selector. A docked selector displays as a selector bar at the bottom of the target panel stack. For an example and instructions to dock a selector, see Docking a selector on iPad documents.
