As someone who often takes part in meetings out of the office, one of the areas of TeamworkPM that I use the most is the main calendar. This is because while at a meeting I need to schedule the next appointment and to make sure both parties are free.
To avoid forgetting, or worse double booking, I usually create that next meeting straight away. To do this I have to login to our TeamworkPM site, via the browser on my phone, and although this view was not bad for checking times, the real issue came when having to create or edit events.
Today I’m really happy to announce that the days of struggling to create new events while out on the road are over thanks to the release of an integrated calendar for Teamwork Mobile. This update now makes entering new events so simple.
Take a look at this short video to see the new mobile calendar in action:
Or if you'd prefer a bit more detail here are a some screen shots taken from my iPad:
Today we are happy to announce the launch of Teamwork Mobile. This optimized version of TeamworkPM will work on most modern smart phones and tablets directly within the devices web browser. There are no prerequisites; no apps are required and nothing needs to be installed.
What is Teamwork Mobile?
Teamwork Mobile is a touch-optimised web app which utilises the latest in web technologies (HTML5, CSS3 & JS). These allow for smooth transitions, quicker page loads, data caching and much more. These technologies allowed us to make one app that works on most modern phones and devices.
For all of you that have been asking us for a BlackBerry app, this version will work very well on the latest BlackBerry phones.
The app features a responsive layout which allows it to adapt to screens of different sizes. So whether you are using it on a tablet, in your PCs web browser or on a touch device, the interface will automatically change to allow for optimal use (so it works great on an iPad for example).
This version of Teamwork will work across a wide range of devices. Though we do not have the means to test TWM on every platform, we expect that it will work so long as your device fits any of the specifications listed below.
Apple iOS (3.2 - 5.0)
Android (2.1 - 4.0)
Windows Phone (7 - 7.5)
Blackberry (6 - 7)
Blackberry Playbook (1.0 - 2.0)
Palm WebOS (1.4 - 3.0)
Meego (1.2)
Samsung Bada (2.0)
Kindle 3 and Fire
Nook Color (1.4.1)
Chrome Desktop (11 - 17)
Firefox Desktop (4 - 9)
Internet Explorer (8 - 9)
Opera Desktop (10 - 11)
So what can Teamwork Mobile do?
If you are familliar with either of our current native apps (Android & iOS) you will be happy to see that we have used a very similar layout and the feature set is much the same; so getting to know the new app should be a piece of cake.
Some of the features included in this version are as follows:
All Tasks Page
All Milestones Page
Search
Statuses - View / Add
Activity Views
Notebooks - View
Messaging - New / Reply
Tasks - View / Add / Edi t/ Complete
Task Lists - View / Add / Edit
Milestones - View / Add / Edit / Complete
Contacts
We also have a few updates planned already so make sure you keep an eye on the blog to remain updated on what we are working on.
How do I access the mobile version?
TeamworkPM should detect that you are accessing your account from a mobile device and should change across to the mobile version automatically. If it doesn't just put /m after your TeamworkPM url to access the mobile site. eg. http://yourcompanyname.teamworkpm.net/m
I'll leave you with a fun video showing Teamwork Mobile running on different devices.
