Did you know that you can easily create custom-tailored SharePoint Mobile solutions in just a few minutes, without any code development at all?
“But SharePoint is very customizable and already has a mobile output format (/m)”
OK...I just got out from a meeting with a customer, I would like to create a follow-up task for myself while I’m on my
way to my car..
Where is my sales dashboard??
All I see is a long list of lists and libraries..most of them I
don’t know..I just need a big “New
Task” button
Oh, here is the Tasks list!Let’s click it…maybe then I’ll see the “New Task” button
Here’s SharePoint’s mobile view (/m)
Here are my tasks!(I see some which are VERY
old..)
Oh, this one should be closed long ago. How do I
close a task?
Very simple!Click “Display”, then click “Edit”
and then mark the task with “Completed” status and then
click “Save”…
Found the “New Task” link!!(I already got into my car..)
I wish I could just have a
“Close Task” link here..
Close Task
Finally I can write the follow-up task for
myself!
Why do I need this field?? It’s a NEW task so of course it was
not started!!
Same for this one…why is it here??
Now I have to select myself from a list…this is really taking far too long for one simple follow-up
task..
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 pages and allow me to access directly the
“New Task page”?
I don’t care how SharePoint works..
I need to be able to work faster!
SharePoint mobile-user challenges
A much more focused interface is required

SharePoint Mobile ExtensionsSmart, focused interface for productive mobile users
Who needs it? Field-engineers Sales agents Support/Help-Desk employees
and..Anyone who needs the same level of SharePoint Workspace service while being out of the office!
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
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 am automatically redirected to “My Tasks” view
(because this is how I defined it), and several fields were
auto-filled.
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!
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)
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)
Summary I see only the relevant fields I see only the relevant views I see only the relevant, custom
list-level and item-level menus These menus are depended upon
who I am, what I am watching and that state of the current item (so there are no irrelevant options)
Minimum mistakes to do, minimum post-backs
Task-oriented, easy to use solution!
