18. Choose the appropriate viewport size in App Designer iPhone size comes pre-loaded; add others via a domain. The Viewport size corresponds to the size of the red box
19. Use appropriate look for a touchscreen Select Is Mobile checkbox to switch to a look that includes larger fonts and screen elements that are easier to control with your finger instead of a mouse
20. Use the new application on any device with a supported browser The Viewport size is saved in the presentation and helps you design better apps in the Application Designer, but it doesn’t limit the user’s ability to use the same app on different devices. Shown here: a Work Order clone designed for an iPhone screen, but viewed at 1024x768 resolution on a laptop.

The point of this slide and the next is to show how much information is currently displayed in a Start Center and App page of Maximo. This can be OK when you’re sitting in front of a large monitor, but there are users who only need to perform particular tasks or see specific information on the go. Those folks don’t need to see so much information, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to show them so much on a mobile device. In the same way that a site like Amazon shows a scaled back screen that’s specially designed for a mobile device, Maximo should do that, too.
Same problem as previous – too much information for a mobile user who needs to see and interact with specific information quickly on a small screen.
The problem is that, it’s currently difficult to design a Maximo app for viewing in a mobile device. How much real estate is available? The current screen template has a big banner and some really small navigation buttons. Those won’t be easy to use on an iPhone…
With Maximo Everyplace, use the screen viewer in App Designer (the red box) to show you how much real estate is available on an iPhone. You can add as many screen resolutions as you like for the screen viewer to represent, so that you can configure screens for other devices that use Maximo-supported browsers (like tablets or toughbooks). Open an existing application, and rework the screen so that the elements you need are visible – eliminate the extra functionality that mobile users won’t need. The resulting app is shown on an iPhone.
The idea is that you’d typically start with an existing application, clone it, then start deleting screen elements to make the app fit on the smaller, mobile device screen. You also have the option to create apps from scratch.
All the same elements from the Start Center still work in the iPhone; they just are shown in a way that’s more appropriate to the device and user experience.
