Open discussion regarding your experience with the Infor d/EPM phone app. I'm considering it for use in my organization and would love any feedback from current users.
Just try it how it fits your needs ;-) It's for free, so you might just need to configure something on server side based on your used authentication. And if you will have any ideas for improvements, also just write us and we will check whether we can incorporate them in our app. And btw. the app is compatible not just with phones, but also with tablets and Apple Watch and it also runs on MacOS.Peter Nusios (mobile development manager from Infor).
Maybe just to add one thing about the IOS app. As I recall a right click mouse action is not supported.
It's also worth getting familiar with the scaling options in App Studio so that content remains usable on a small device.
Thanks for the advice John...will definitely look into that. I figured I would need to create specific app studio reports for use as widgets on the phone app.
Thanks Peter. I'm in the final stages of dEPM migration from on prem to the multi-tenant. As soon as that's final I'm going to to give the app a try on my company iphone. I plan on creating a few simple app studio reports to be used as widgets for the test.
Any feedback from a customer standpoint?
1. User Adoption: Did users find the app value added or more of a cool feature that's seldom used?
2. How is your org using the app? What types of information or charts do you find most effective for this platform?
Hi Christopher,
We have a customer using the phone app. The executives and MD use it for some key reports which are updated daily (they are in an F&B environment) and like it as they can access the data from anywhere at anytime. They are more interested in numbers rather than graphs or dashboards.
Thanks for the feedback Peter!
About 2 years ago, we designed an application for Hotel Managers particularly for a smartphone device as a proof of concept. It was also a dashboard with the main KPI's as numerical precinted values plus some small bullet charts. Plus drilldown possibilities.
@Christopher What I have seen in this design workshop: the hardest part is to make the customer focus on the most relevant KPIs from the users perspective. If the customer is guided through this process in the right way, this is creating more business value than some feature A or B of the software.
