functionality. As mobile technology is much popular and in demand nowadays, Microsoft has integrated many new Mobility features in its recent SharePoint 2013 version release. Most of the enterprises have adopted mobility in their work processes and so the necessity of SharePoint supporting smartphones and tablet devices is increased. The four most important enhancements done in SharePoint 2013 are discussed below – Mobile Browser Experience with SharePoint 2013 SharePoint 2013 provides an optimized mobile browser experience with the introduction of new contemporary view. It also offers a new full screen UI view enabling users to see a full desktop view of a SharePoint based website on the smartphones. The new Contemporary view is lightweight that helps to easily navigate and access document libraries, lists, wikis, and web parts. This new view for smartphones is supported by Android 4.0 version or higher, iOS 4.0 or higher and Windows 7.5 or higher. New Push Notification Feature integration SharePoint 2013 now supports the mobile apps that aid users to receive notifications from a SharePoint based website. Any events happening on the SharePoint site is notified on the mobile device with this new Push notification feature. To start receiving notifications, one time registration with the website is required by mobile device apps. After registration, the Push notification service can be started by which mobile users receive notifications directly from the server where the app is hosted for the registered mobile device app. Also, it is important that the Push Notification feature is activated on the site which can be done by going in Site Settings -> Site Actions -> Manage site features.
Device Channels Due to increasing use of mobile devices running on multiple mobile OS’s, it has become necessary that the SharePoint site is optimized for readability and ease of use on all mobile devices. With Device channels integrated in SharePoint 2013, mobile users can deliver a single website in multiple views by using different preferable designs that target different devices based on their user agent string. Location SharePoint 2013 now supports new Geolocation field type that can be used in a list particularly for mobile application development. Now, it is possible to create lists “location aware” and display latitude and longitude coordinates via Bing Maps. Other than these, SharePoint 2013 provides better tools that are useful for building enhanced customized mobile applications. Microsoft has included all useful mobile related features in SharePoint 2013 making it a mobile-friendly platform.
