Described below functionality is not production ready. It is proof of concept which use current FastNET rendering engine to enable Mobile Friendly User Interface. JQuery Mobile framework is used to ensure native mobile look on any modern mobile device (Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone).

Potential Use Cases

Although Mobile Forms functionality is not production ready it is available in 7.2+ systems. It is disabled by default and do not affect standard UI. There are two potential use cases for Mobile Forms:

  1. Online Forms for Agility For Android. Sometimes it is required to enable additional forms on Agility For Android which are handled directly by agility service (instead offline form embeded on android). There are many reasons why such online forms are good solution, one of them is ability to use lookups on data which is not cached by android (for example asset registry). It seems that Mobile Forms fits perfectly into such pattern.
  2. Online Work Management tool (similar to the original "Alite" application). Attemp to describe functionality of such application as wall as quotation is provided in Issue 6446. Please refer Issue 6446 for details.

None of above cases is available without additional development.
