Overview

Workshop's Mobile support allows you to build web applications optimized for use on mobile devices, especially for phone form factors.

Configuring a Workshop module for mobile use automatically updates many widgets to be more mobile-friendly, such as making form inputs more usable on touchscreens. Additionally, a range of mobile-specific widgets are made available, as documented below. Some widgets that are intended for use on desktop devices — including the Object Table, Chart, and Map — are disabled in mobile modules.

End users access mobile Workshop applications by navigating to the dedicated mobile app launcher, available at https://{your-foundry-url}/workspace/m/. This streamlined launcher allows users to easily browse, search for, and open mobile Workshop applications. Opening a mobile Workshop application in the launcher also enables users to navigate intuitively using the browser's back and forward interactions. Learn more about the mobile application launcher.
