Question

Mobile App Functionality

Hi,

I have a custom section called "KYC". I have added a new button called "Add doc to SharePoint " in the section record page. When this button is clicked, it triggers a business process that opens up a preconfigured page. This page has a file control which is used to select a file from the local file system. It also has a "Save" button, the click of which calls a SharePoint API in the background to upload this document in SharePoint. I am able to make this work in the desktop website.

 Now, I need to implement this on the mobile app. Will this functionality work out of the box on the mobile without any changes? Or do I have to do a lot of customization to make this work on mobile? Appreciate all the help. Thanks in advance...

Unfortunately, implementation of such functionality for mobile application requires a lot of advanced development within the system. This is due to the necessity of creating entire mobile functionality from scratch.

If you want to proceed with the development please find the mobile development guide by the link below:

Thank you for the reply, Alina! Could you give me a sense of the quantum of work involved, say to upload files through mobile? Is the file upload out of the box(OOTB) on Mobile? Going back to the use case that I have mentioned above, I am thinking if there is a way on the server to listen to any OOTB file upload event that occurs on the mobile and perform the sharepoint integration on the server? Please confirm. Also, in general, is the bpm'online mobile platform flexible and extensible to accommodate any kind of complex development or are there any restriction with the development that you can do?

Thanks again for all the help...
