SWF to HTML5 but won't scroll on my mobile device

So I have a massive Dashboard that I’ve created for the last 5 years. I’ll include link at the bottom. The problem is, it cannot be viewed on mobile devices because Android and iOS don’t allow Flash files anymore. Our system is going to HTML5, so I need to somehow figure out how to make my current dashboard able to be viewed on a mobile device. I’ve tries conversation programs like “Google Swiffy”. That only accepts 1mb files. I’ve tried grabbing the HTML5 file that Previewing it in Mobile mode creates. That allows me to view the html file on my mobile devices, but i cannot scroll the screen in order to see all my info. Has anybody had this issue, or does anybody have any suggestions. I might lose my job if i can’t figure this out.

I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks, Brandon

I would start by setting expectations with your management. It really, honestly, seriously might not be possible. Or, at least, might require some heavy duty re-development. I’m in your boat, too, of having the discussions with our customers about it.

What version of SAP Dashboards are you using? I would start the process by making sure you are on the latest and greatest version. Even if you have to install a trial version.

Have you tried saving the dashboard as a mobile version? Check the options under “Save to Platform”. You’ll need to make sure that all your chosen components and especially your connections are mobile-compliant.

Have you tried exporting it to AIR? No, it’s not HTML5, but it’s a step closer, and will work on mobile devices that have AIR installed.
