Integrating Responsive Pages into the BI Portal

How to:

RDF pages can be integrated into the BI Portal to create adaptive and intuitive user-facing InfoApps. The RDF Add-on enables full access to personalization and ad hoc reporting features, among others.

You can use both BI Portal-created pages and RDF pages within a single portal. This enables you to use the standard responsive dashboard capabilities of BI Portal in combination with responsive InfoApps created with the RDF Add-on.

Note: It is recommended to use a single-column layout when placing RDF pages into a responsive portal to ensure that the pages maintain their original responsiveness.
