PPM for Mobile now has a Dashboard landing page.

By default, the mobile landing page is the same as your PPM desktop landing page. If allowed by your PPM administrator, you can set a different Dashboard page as your mobile landing page.

For details, see Set your own mobile landing page.

As an administrator, you can configure whether requests using a certain workflow will be listed in the mobile web client, and whether a workflow step will be used in the mobile web client.

Mobile users can only act on the workflow steps that is configured to be used in the mobile web client. This improves the usability and efficiency of approving requests.

For details, see Select workflow steps used in mobile and Act on a request.

You can add notes for requests to exchange ideas among stakeholders.

For details, see Add notes.

The waiting time of a request is the time since its workflow step last changed. The request that has the longest waiting time is now listed on the top.

For details, see Requests available in mobile.

If the action you are taking on a request requires you to provide more information, a request "look-ahead" screen pops up to list which information should be filled.

For details, see Search for a request.
