There are new XPages mobile controls available to us as developers in Notes 9.0.1, and they make it even easier to add a mobile layer to your Notes and Domino applications. This session will present those new controls and how to use them with an existing traditional Domino application. We will show you how to take an app that was built with Notes 6.x and add a mobile interface. In addition to the XPages mobile controls, we will show the same application built using the free mobile tools available from OpenNTF. You will leave the session with practical examples of how to take the first step to putting a fresh mobile face on your applications and everything that goes with it.

20. The XPages Mobile Controls
• You are building a mobile web site
• Con: Cannot be used offline
• Pro: Build once for all devices
• A best practice is to keep your mobile layer “light”
• Your mobile layer may include less overall content compared to the main
site, and offer less functionality/workflow
• It will load faster, be easier to use and be more intuitive

21. The XPages Mobile Controls
• Mobile Theme
– Application Configuration > Xsp Properties

22. The XPages Mobile Controls
• Concepts
1. A mobile site in XPages is contained entirely in one XPage
• May (should) use Custom Controls
2. Navigation is between “Mobile Page” controls within a “Single Page
Application” control
3. Think about your navigation as a first step

23. The XPages Mobile Controls
• Mobile controls
– Single Page Application
• SelectedPageName property
– Application Page (aka Mobile Page)
• PageName property
– Page Heading
– the rest
• Other controls
– Data View
– Outline
– Form Table
– Form Layout Row
Mobile Page Control
Page Heading Control
Page Content
(your choice)

42. Lessons Learned
• Limited choices of field types to display data
• Only may specify a DataView control for displaying
views
• No opportunity to add a column to a view after the
first one
• A small quirk: as you work through the wizard, the
default value provided to navigate back to is the
previous entry in the original configuration list
• No opportunity to compute values in the wizard
• No opportunity to save part way through
• About 30 minutes to configure (30+ pages)
• 30 seconds to generate
