The Mobile Workflow application is now based on a Hybrid Web container architecture. This enables new functionality as described below.
- Designer-based user interface that is customizable using HTML, JavaScript and CSS Web technologies.
- The ability to customize user interface using CSS.
- Access to exit points for coding platform-neutral Business logic in JavaScript.
- Cross platform support provides consistency across most mobile platforms, including Apple iOS, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile.
- jQuery Mobile framework support, providing the sophisticated jQuery look and feel by default.
- Compatibility with third-party user interfaces and charting libraries.
- Attachment support (view and download).
- Single Sign-on support, which includes X.509 certificate support and token support for SAP®.
- On device cache, which allows the results of an Online Request to be cached for a specified amount of time. This cache is secured and persisted so if you shut down the Workflow container and start it back up again, the cache is maintained. If a subsequent Online Request is executed that contains the exact same inputs (and you are within the specified time interval), the cached results are returned instead of making another request to the server.
