Connections Mobile June Update

Posted by Chris Reckling on June 28, 2013

Littleton, MA – Another month, another update to the IBM Connections mobile apps for iOS and Android. There are a number of improvements in this release. In addition to the usual bug fixes and performance improvements, here are a few of the feature updates:

Simplified FIles list – there is now a tab at the bottom of the list to switch between Files and Folders. There was a lot of duplication in the drop-down view menu such as “My Files” and “My Folders”. Now it’s just Files and you can switch to Folders view with the tab.
Added Profiles About Me and Tags. You can also tag people and manage your tags as well as search from the tag screen.
Share and access folders from a Community.
Use client certificates to authenticate with your enterprise.
Added Action Required view to Updates on iOS. You can also actually take action from there; for example, to accept a network invitation or community invitation.
Some dialog boxes for adding new content have been implemented as native controls. For example, in Activity entries, Blog comments, and wiki comments.
Many Connections web URLs that previously switched to open a separate web browser to the full site, will now go to the right service in the mobile app.

Here are a few screen shots to whet your appetite.

Figure 3. These screens show the Android phone version of profile tags and then when you tap a tag, a search is done so you can find other people with the same tag.
