of un-structured content and pre-defined
applications

workspace, configured in minutes to show
customer specific content

Mobile Universal Worklist
The Universal Worklist (UWL) is a centralized task management tool
through which business users can manage, respond to, and delegate
daily work items. Enterprise workspaces enable end users to access their
UWL tasks from mobile devices – smartphones and tablets.
The mobile UWL is a new (responsive design) HTML5 based user
interface for the existing Universal Worklist application, providing the key
UWL capabilities required to perform actions on UWL tasks from mobile
devices.
Consumption channels:


Desktop – the existing user interface for the Universal Worklist, based
on Web Dynpro for JAVA.



Tablet and Smartphone – consumption via the mobile portal.

The actions per workflow
item are configurable. The
administrator can define
which actions to showhide
per task type.

Users can perform actions on a
workflow item directly from list
