Supported Client Devices

• Android based devices Android 2.2 and higher
• iPhone 3G and higher iOS 4.2.1 and higher

Deprcated Features

 

The following features have been deprecated in this release:

• The ability to obtain latitude values in a Text field by naming it ‘realLat’.
• The ability to obtain longitudinal values by naming a Text field ‘realLong Fields’:

Instead we have extended the Text field control to support a Client Extensions property to ‘GPS’, there by requiring modification to existing solutions and redeployment. When this value is added the end user will be prompted to share their location. If the end user allows the mobile device to share their location, when the form is opened or refill operation occurs, the text control will be populated with GPS coordinates of current location in the format:

[Latitude], [Longitude]. For example, 43.17539, 42.27507.

 

Note:solutions that supported the OpenText BPM Mobile Version 1.0 client will need to be redeployed using the OpenText MBPM Version 9.2 Designer before they can be used with the OpenText BPM Mobile v2 client.
