When the Mobile Entrée Base Feature is activated, a set of configuration pages is available on the site.  These pages allow you to configure how and what mobile content gets rendered to your users.  To access these pages follow the following steps:
  1. You must have "Manage Web" permissions in your sharepoint site and the Mobile Entree Base Feature must be activated.
  2. From the Site Settings Menu select Mobile Entrée Configuration

Global Config
Inside the Global Config area, you will see the status of your Mobile Entree install as well as cache settings and Configuration Templates.

Cache Settings
Mobile Entree 2.0 uses compiled XSLT transformations to render the mobile interfaces to the different devices.  These transformations as well as other configuration settings can be cached by setting a cache timeout.  We recommend a cache timeout of 600 seconds (10 minutes) to maximize performance.  This does not cache data, only configuration settings.

Configuration Templates
Configuration templates provide you the ability to save the way a site is configures and reuse that throughout the site collection.

Application Config
Mobile Entree 2.0 introduces the ability to have multiple copies of any mobile application.  We call this "App Instancing".  After you first activate the Mobile Entree Base Feature, you will have to add an instance of a mobile application, in this case the Base Plugin, for your mobile users to use.  To do this, click the "New Mobile Application Instance" button, select the Base Plugin, give it a title and description and click save.

The order in which mobile applications are displayed is important.  To reorder the applications, just click to the right of the title and drag up or down.

Each application, including the Base Plugin, has application configuration properties. Inside each app config page is a set of default config properties as well as any app-specific properties set up by the developer of that specific application.

Feature Targeting allows you to select what SharePoint users or groups have access to that application.  You can either allow all users access or just select users and groups.

Path Regular Expression is a RegEx string used to redirect incoming requests to this application.  Any URL matching this RegEx string will be taken directly to this application.  As a developer, you can match paths that would go to your application pages and have access to the url string and any parameters via the Mobile Entrée API.

Visible - This allows you to set whether your application is visible from the Base Plugin listing of available applications.  This setting is usefull if you have an application that is purely email driven or by links from another mobile application.

The other configuration properties are controled by the developer of the app.  This is much like a ToolPart for a SharePoint WebPart.

Mobile Content
When the Mobile Entrée Base Feature is activated, a set of configuration pages is available on the site.  These pages allow you to configure how and what mobile content gets rendered to your users.  To access these pages follow the following steps:
  1. You must have full control of your sharepoint site and the Mobile Entree Base Feature must be activated.
  2. From the Site Settings Menu select Mobile Entrée Configuration

Global Config

The Global Config section of the Mobile Entrée Configuration provides you with the ability to define the order in which applications get loaded, the default application for the site as well as some simple cache settings.

Order and Default are important when you have more than one mobile application and you want to use targeting to provide a tailored experience to your users based on what role they play.  Targeting (think of it like audiences) gets executed based on the default application then the order.  This allows you to set up cascading audience targeting.

Be sure to click Apply Changes to make sure your modifications are saved.

Application Config

Each application, including the Base Plugin, has an application configuration page.  Inside each app config page is a set of default config properties as well as any app-specific properties set up by the developer of that specific application.

Feature Targeting allows you to select what SharePoint users or groups have access to that application.  You can either allow all users access or just select users and groups.

Path Regular Expression is a RegEx string used to redirect incoming requests to this application.  Any URL matching this RegEx string will be taken directly to this application.  As a developer, you can match paths that would go to your application pages and have access to the url string and any parameters via the Mobile Entrée API.
