Viewing the Home Page on Mobile Devices


The WebFOCUS Home Page is optimized for viewing on mobile devices. It automatically adjusts to a smaller screen or browser width. Additionally, there are several interface and functionality changes that occur when you switch from the full view to the mobile view, allowing you to view the content saved in your environment.

When you view the Home Page on a mobile device, the sidebar is hidden from view to allow more space for your content. You can bring the sidebar back by tapping the menu button on the navigation bar. The sidebar allows you to navigate between the Home, My Workspace, Shared with Me, and Workspaces views on the Home Page, as shown in the following image.

The action bar and the banner menus are also hidden in the mobile view. To access the functionality available from these features, you need to use the full desktop version of the software. The Change Password and Sign Out options are available from the sidebar and also from the user menu in the upper right corner of your mobile display.

You can run content in the mobile view by tapping on an item. Select shortcut menu options are also available on mobile devices. To access the shortcut menu options, tap the ellipsis button in the bottom-right corner of the item, as shown in the following image. The shortcut menu options are context-sensitive, and vary, depending on the item or element you want to access.

To navigate between domains and folders on a mobile device, use the breadcrumb trail. The arrows between the directories allow you to switch between different folders. Click the ellipsis to navigate between the levels that are hidden from view.

You can also search, switch between list and grid views, refresh and sort content in the mobile view. These functions behave in the same way as they do in the full desktop view.
