Key capabilities: what your mobile solution needs to do Intuitive and consistent user interface – forms use common tap and swipe navigation and the same across all platforms Multi-field searching in grid forms using type ahead search techniques Data Persistence - the ability to continue to work while out of wireless coverage by downloading and storing data on the device Device personalization – data filtering by device and language localization

5 © 2013 Horizant Inc. & FieldFLEX Inc. Drawings: what to expect from your drawings when you put them on a mobile device The two main discussion points: How clean are your drawings? What do you need from the mobile drawings? Things to consider: Keeping the layer list small and suitably granular Standardizing the layer set across all drawings Knowing how are objects drawn or inserted Do you have 3D objects or blocks Are properties assigned by layer and not by block or object Do you have nested blocks Complexity and detail of predefined blocks

FieldFLEX Mobile Floor Map Publisher contains powerful drawing publishing tools to produce intelligent, mobile ready floor maps from existing ARCHIBUS Asset AutoCAD drawings.
