Using community from mobile browsers
When accessing a Jive community from a mobile device, the mobile browser features simple navigation with large buttons that are better suited for touch screens. Note that options that are too complex or too large for narrow screens are not displayed.
To visit your community from a mobile browser, enter your community's URL into the browser of your mobile device and log in. Likewise, you can see the same narrow interface on the desktop version by making your desktop browser smaller.
The following options are available from a mobile browser:
Note: Some content and functionality only make sense in the wider desktop view, so you won't
see some things cluttering up the smaller space. However, iPads always benefit from the
full functionality of a wide-screen view.
- Read and interact with your streams and Inbox
- You can browse through and interact with your streams, and read and respond to your Inbox items.
- Create most content types
- Create different content from your mobile device, for example, ideas, blog posts, and documents.
- Search and filter
- Tap the magnifying glass, enter your search term, and then click the down-arrow to filter by content, people, or places, and the time period of the last modification.
- Access and use places
- Follow, join, or leave places from the mobile browser. You can also see a place activity, content, people, and any subspaces, projects, and custom pages the place may have. To sort the content in a place, click Content and then an icon: documents, discussions, blogs, or polls. If you're looking for the tiles on a group's activity page, be sure to scroll down to see them.
Known issues
- The mobile browser does not work on Blackberry devices.
- Older Android browsers struggle with content creation. You can resolve this by upgrading your Android operating system and using Chrome to browse your community.
