The server address should include the server IP or domain name (alias). If you are not using the default port (80) you will need to add the port as well, for example: http://xx.xxx.xx.xx:8081. When working with SSL security protocol, use the ‘https’ prefix.
You can sign out by opening the navigation menu and tapping Sign Out.
If you have problems connecting, check the following:
- If your server is not on port 8081, check that the port has been added correctly, for example, 192.168.1.1:8080
- Try to access the server from your phone's web browser
- Try to access the server from other computers connected to the same WIFI connection as your phone

When you first log in to Sisense Mobile, a list of your folders, dashboards, and recently opened dashboards is displayed.
By tapping a dashboard, you can open the dashboard or if your dashboard is located in a folder, tap the folder then tap the relevant dashboard to open it.
You can also locate a dashboard quickly by tapping the search icon and typing the name of the dashboard. As you begin to type, any dashboards that match the characters you entered are displayed.
Once the dashboard is displayed, you can tap the dashboard’s title to display more details.

Drilling into your Data
You can drill down in most widgets to get an in-depth view of a selected value. For example, tap on a slice in a pie chart to see the absolute value in addition to the percentage.
In the following example, the left chart shows the lead breakdown by campaign source, and on the right side, the chart shows a breakdown of visits from various social media sources.
Any time you select a value, a tooltip is displayed at the bottom of your screen, which provides a description of the selected value and the drill down icon. In this example, you see the total lead and its percentage.
Note: You cannot drill down while in landscape mode.
To return to a higher level, click on a breadcrumb. To drill all the way up, click on the X icon.

Sisense Pulse is a centralized location where you can stay on top of your most important KPIs across multiple dashboards or manage your data and build alerts. By adding important KPIs from your dashboards to Sisense Pulse, you can get a comprehensive picture of your data from a single location.
Sisense Pulse contains tiles that display information from your dashboards and the status of your ElastiCube builds.
Within Sisense Pulse, there are two types of tiles, data tiles that display your widgets’ current status and recent history and build tiles that display the latest status of your ElastiCube builds.
In Sisense Mobile you can manage your alerts from Sisense Pulse or create data alerts based on widgets in your dashboards.
Note: Build alerts can only be created from the Sisense Web Application.You can access Sisense Pulse from Sisense Mobile by opening the navigation menu and tapping Pulse.
Creating Data Alerts
Data alerts are triggered by conditions you define for your widgets. For example, if you have an Indicator widget that represents your company’s revenue, you can define an alert that notifies you when this revenue reaches or falls below a certain threshold.
For each type of widget you can add to Pulse, you can monitor a single value. For example, for Column charts, you can monitor a single section (value) of a column. To monitor multiple values, you can add each value you want to monitor to Pulse separately.
When you create an alert for a specific value, Sisense applies any filters that were already applied, for example, if you create a data alert for the total revenue of a given age range, the pulse alert created will be called Total Revenue and will be filtered by the value of the age range you selected.
To create a data alert, from your dashboard, tap the relevant widget to open it in Widget Mode. In Widget Mode, tap the value you want to monitor, then tap the menu icon and tap Add to Pulse. This opens the Alert Conditions menu where you select the type of data alert you want to create. For example, if you create a threshold data alert, the following settings are displayed.
After you have set the conditions, tap Save and the new alert will be added to Sisense Pulse.
Managing Alerts
You can manage your alerts from Sisense Pulse. In Sisense Pulse, tap the relevant tile to open Tile Mode. Once you’re in Tile Mode, the menu icon is displayed in the top right corner. Tap it to display a list of alert management options.
From the options area, you can edit alerts, delete alerts, deactivate alerts, and toggle notifications.
Pulse Notifications
If your Sisense user has been configured to receive Pulse alerts to your mobile device, when an alert is triggered, you will receive a notification from the Sisense Mobile app.
You can swipe left on an alert to clear the alert or to view the alert in Sisense Pulse.
To clear all alerts, click the trash can icon at the top of the notification feed.

Sisense supports SSO for Sisense Mobile. If your Sisense server is configured to use SSO, Sisense Mobile will use the same SSO configuration. No additional configuration is required on the Sisense server.
When you log in to Sisense Mobile, you are redirected to the IdP login URL using web view. Following authentication by the IdP, the SSO token is returned to the Sisense Server, which returns a web cookie to Sisense Mobile, and the application is opened. For more information about how to implement SSO, see Single Sign On.
