The [Activities] section in the mobile application is synchronized with the primary bpm’online application and can be used both offline and online (Fig. 1).
Tasks can be displayed either as a virtual organizer or a drop-down list. In the calendar mode the tasks which you are responsible for, and those in which you were added to [Participants] detail, are displayed. In the list mode only the tasks which you are responsible for are displayed.
Calendar mode
In calendar mode, tasks are displayed in a virtual organizer. The calendar area is divided into days. The date and day of the week are displayed in the heading of each day column. The current day is highlighted.
