Using the Stardust Portal from a Mobile Device

In some cases you like to initiate and / or participate in workflows from your mobile device. Stardust provides rich integration with interfaces very familiar to other native mobile functionality like camera or GPS. With the Stardust mobile UI you can use a subset of the general Portal functionality from Android and iPhone devices. The main Business Process Management and Document Management capabilities of the regular portal are provided with additional mobile-specific features to leverage native mobile device functions. This includes support for:

attaching images taken using the mobile device camera to Processes
adding Process Notes using the built in microphone
sending E-mail to workflow participants directly from mobile devices

Architectural Highlights

The Stardust Mobile Interface leverages jQuery Mobile and AngularJS to provide the foundation for the client-side framework. jQuery Mobile provides the presentation and routing mechanisms while Angular is used to provide data binding and dependency injection. Data access is provided by a RESTful service layer abstracted from the existing Stardust service layer.

Using native Mobile Functionality

Native mobile functionality is supported in the following way:

E-mail - to send and receive Emails from/to participating users
Camera - to attach pictures to a process as process attachments
GPS - to store coordinates as process data, e.g. to get location information to bind department data
Microphone - to record audio notes
