In just a few minutes you can produce a mobile interface that answers your mobile users’ specific needs!

You have FULL control over your SharePoint Mobile application:

You define the exact layoutYou define which menus and actions will be visibleYou define the exact logic

Zero development!

CUSTOM TASK CUSTOM TASK MANAGEMENT MOBILE MANAGEMENT MOBILE SOLUTIONSOLUTION(WITHOUT THE “GENERIC” (WITHOUT THE “GENERIC” SHAREPOINT FEATURES)SHAREPOINT FEATURES)

This is the Tasks list on my mobile

phone

Clicking on “Actions”..

I now see the exact menus I need (and NOT the regular

SharePoint menus that half of them I never use..)

I see only the menus I need to see according to

defined logic(who I am, Which view I am

watching)

When I click the “Create new task for me”

action,The following will happen

Pre-action confirmation message

and if I click “OK”..

Remember what fields you see in SharePoint

when you want to create a new task for

yourself?

I would like not to see this field, and have a default value of “Not Started”

don’t want to see this field

(and have a 0 default value for it)

I would like this field to be automatically filled with my user

name

Well..here is the focused, mobile

version:

Since it is a new task for myself,

I see only relevant fields.

The field “assigned to” is not visible and is auto-filled with

my username.

I fill out these fields and click “Submit”

I am automatically redirected to “My

Tasks” view(because this is how I

defined it), and several fields were auto-filled.

Let’s now go to an existing task

Clicking an item..

I see only the fields I should see

The fields are grouped into page

parts (sections) according to the

way I wanted

Clicking the “Actions” shows

custom item-level actions

For example:The action “Close

Task” is visible because this task is

assigned to me.

You can define item-level conditioned menus which are visible according to a defined logic!

Couldn’t our IT experts just create a simple

“New Task for Myself” button that opens a new task page without the irrelevant

fields ??

Couldn’t they spare me from all these screen and allow me access directly the

“New Task page”?

I don’t care how SharePoint works..

I need to be able to work faster!!

SO… HOW DO I SO… HOW DO I CREATE A CUSTOM CREATE A CUSTOM MOBILE SOLUTIONMOBILE SOLUTION

??

This is a regular Tasks list.You can see we’ve added

some custom actions to the list.

Go to the List’s Settings page to

configure its mobile behavior…

Click the “SharePoint list

forms extensions” link to configure the

list (both for web and for mobile)

In his page for example you define the available custom

list actions

These custom actions

produce...

…the menus that your users

see on their smart phones

You can define the exact logic for every

custom action

Caption and icons

To which page the user will be

redirected after the action was done

Who sees this action, and on which views

Define fields auto-update rules for each menu.

(in our example:when creating a task for myself, make the “Assign To” field be

equal to [me])

Define which field groups (tabs) will be visible for user input

You can define which workflows should be initiated upon this

action’s completion!

You have similar abilities to define Item-level

actions, but…

You can also define logic conditions for each menu’s

visibility!Example:The menu “Close Task” will be visible only to the user which the task he sees is assigned to him (you cannot close other employee’s tasks)

Microsoft SharePoint on the iPhone Microsoft SharePoint on the iPhone BrowserBrowser

1. Apples’ ‘Safari mobile’ browser is the first mobile browser to render many

websites nearly as well as a notebook computer running fully featured

browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Opera.

2. It was especially surprised by how well Safari handles SharePoint

3. SharePoint on the iPhone may simply be the most promising and

robust combination of mobility and a powerful server-based

application out there

4. iPhones can access SSL secured(“https://) SharePoint sites

5. The iPhone supports a variety of authentication types including

passwords, MD5 Challenge-Response, NTLM, and HTTP MD5

Digest.

Logged into full-screen SharePoint application with the iPhone

iPhones can access SSL secured SharePoint sites
