We have a series of reports that exclusively uses History Tab for navigation, where we setup a landing page for user to click on a button to execute a simple security/navigation check, something like the following:
https://www.extendanalytics.com/blog/python-script-to-set-spotfire-filter-using-column-values/
This works with the History tab, because it forces the script to execute, and if a user does not have corresponding data, they don't get to advance the subsequent pages. On the iPad app, it appears that the swipe action allows users to move to different tabs, no matter what tab setting it is, and bypassing the intended script for filtering checks.
We are looking for a way to disable swipe, or a way to execute code on swipe action

Implemented in Spotfire 10.7. See https://community.tibco.com/wiki/whats-new-tibco-spotfire-107
Harold and Rahul, would you agree that the problem is solved as per Kim Ahlbergs comment, or is there still something missing?
Version 2.8 of the Spotfire Mobile Analytics app introduced support for history arrow navigation if you're using a somewhat recent server version.
This means user can no longer navigate to arbitrary tabs by swiping.
We faced exactly the same problem with Mobile Analytics app and had to guide users not to use swipe instead use navigation provided on the page. Swipe page functionality is good but then App should provide feature to disable or enable it.
