At the office I can enjoythe “portal experience”

But when I am out of the office..

I don’t need our entire portal inside my smartphone!

I don’t need a long list of all

the libraries and lists in my

site!

The exact Actions that

I Need!

SharePoint list menus are Generic

No matter which item type - you always get the same generic menus(Based only on your permissions)

Different menus based on situation

Why do we see these fields for a new task?

Why can I edit this task if it’s not assigned to

Why can I edit this task if it’s already completed?

This field is disabled and I cannot edit it because I am not the task owner
