Mobile / Responsive Portal

By default, portals created with Geoconcept Web (version 5.1 onwards) feature an interface that has been adapted for use on both tablets and smartphones. Depending on the size of the terminal screen, the use of responsive mode enables switching from a "classical" display over to a display that has been optimised for small screens, and vice versa. A single portal is therefore sufficient for all types of browsing platforms: PC or mobile terminals with touch screen interfaces. Nevertheless administrators may, if they wish, disable responsive mode. Activation or de-activation is described under portal properties in the chapter devoted to the Composer.

Constraints on screen sizes require the display to be designed slightly: widgets, for the most part, are not displayed on the map but via the drop-down menu.

The behaviour of widgets may vary slightly between a "classical" type of portal and a "mobile" portal to enable easy operating via whatever platform is used.

[Warning] Warning

Mobile / Responsive mode is compatible on all mobile operating systems (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, …) but nonetheless, some behaviours and/or functionalities may vary depending on the restrictions imposed by operating systems.

Configuration

The configuration items specific to mobile portals are described in the chapter on the Composer, in the Mobile widgets window.

The widgets concerned by mobile mode (cf. the list that follows), have a Mobile tab in their properties that allows you:

  • To edit the Label name for all widgets,
  • To activate the widget in mobile/responsive mode;
  • Choose a rapid access widget: displays the widget at the bottom left of the mobile portal (without having to go via the menu).
  • and other parameters specific to certain widgets. Refer to the description of each widget for details of how each widget can be used.
