The Content Navigator application is a new feature of Mobile Entree 2.1. It provides a means to display your SharePoint content in a more web/reader friendly fashion. The Content Navigator is a good solution for displaying Articles, Wiki content and Publishing pages. Follow these instructions to configure the Content Navigator:
- Navigate to the Mobile Entree Configuration page of your site
- To create a new Content Navigator application, click New Application Instance
- When the window comes up, select the Content Navigator application
- Once this application has been created, you have to link it to a list or library for it to use for content. This can be an announcement list, Wiki page library, publishing page library or any other SharePoint list.
- After you have selected the list for its content, you will be able to configure what fields are used for display under the Content Tab. Fields can be displayed as just Body text or as Name/Value pairs. You can reorder the fields by dragging them.
- You can now also select which pages should be displayed in the menu that comes with the application. Pages refer to single list items, Sites refer to SharePoint sites or any other external URL you want in the menu, and applications refer to any other mobile application available on the site.
Once you have configured all of this, you will now have an application with a menu that you can use to navigate this content. This application can be instanced many times to connect to different sources and then strung together to create a seamless experience.
