Mobile portal: Home folder and workspaces

Here you can access the contents of your workspaces. Folders and other container objects are represented in a simple list view. Further details of the objects indicated are given in the de­tails page, where you also may edit the objects, e.g. change the description or attach a note.

Within folders, you may create new objects: folders, contact lists, calendars, URLs and dis­cus­sion forums. You create new objects in the list view of a folder as follows.

•      Click on the  button at the right-hand end of the upper navigation bar.

•      Select the type of the object that you want to create. Further interaction works similar­ly to the standard user interface.

The details page of single objects provides more actions. You may, e.g., delete objects from a folder or move them to other folders via cut and paste.

On the details page of shared workspaces you can manage membership in the “Members” tab.

•      You invite new members using the [Add] button. Alternatively, you may also use [Invite member] in the “General” tab.

•      In the action form ‘Invite member’ you may only enter one user name or email ad­dress into the upmost field. When choosing from your address book, you may select several entries which are transferred to the respective field after closing the address book.

•      When you invite new members to a subfolder of an existing workspace, you may choose whether to invite the new members to the subfolder (to ‘Members of sub­fol­der-name’) or to the existing workspace (to ‘Members of workspace-name’). Choose the exist­ing work­space, if you want to extend the member group of the workspace and to grant the new members access to the whole workspace in the role selected. If you choose the sub­folder, the new members will get access only to the subfolder of the work­space. This works exactly as if you had carried out the action  Access    Invite    Member  for a sub­folder at the standard user interface.

•      You remove members from a workspace by clicking [ Edit] in the “Members” tab of the workspace. Check the members you want to remove and click [Remove Member]. This works only in the workspace itself, not in eventual subfolders.

The entries of blogs and discussion forums are also shown as listings. You may view the con­tents of entries, add a new entry or answer to entries in discussion forums.

Figure 17: Document details

If you click on a document in a folder listing, the details of the document will be shown. Here you find description, size, MIME type and information about the last modification. You may edit the document metadata, send the document per email (as link or as attachment) or down­load the document via [Open].

Creating new documents is possible if your mobile device supports uploading documents. Currently this is not possible on iPhones, but smart phones running Android version 2.2 and up usually support uploading pictures and textual notes.
