I’m currently writing an article about building SharePoint 2013 mobile apps and things to take into consideration or think about before you begin.
I’d love input from my fellow community members, so if you have the time to answer 1 or more of the following questions, I’d greatly appreciate it! Please specify which question number you are answering.
- What are your favorite new mobile features that were introduced in SharePoint 2013, and why?
- Does your company or any of your clients currently use any 3rd party or open source mobile solutions? If so, which one(s) and what benefit do they provide or what problem do they solve?
- Do you think it’s better to build mobile apps for SharePoint, or just create a mobile browser version of your SharePoint site that works in all the major mobile browsers?
- How concerned is your company (or clients) about security surrounding mobile apps, such as, sensitive SharePoint documents falling into the wrong hands via mobile access; and what do you recommend they do to keep their content secure?
- Are there any other things your company or clients should consider before they start building mobile SharePoint apps?
1. Device Channel & Responsiveness.
2. Nope.
3. Depends if you have a lot of custom solutions. For a OOTB SP Site with little modification you can build a “mobile sp site”.. for a site with a lot of custom actions, workflows or specific actions you can build a mobile app. For example, imagine you have a site where Construction Photos are posted, now imagine having a mobile up to take the photo and upload it there automatically.
4. Didn’t hear anything about it ,however we have monthly contests to catch persons at the office which don’t lock their PC session. Since we’re all in IT we know to have a password on our phones
5. Do they really need it?
