Remote
device requirements
 | Wireless data
services from a
mobile service
provider
|
 | A device with a
web browser that
supports XHTML Basic
or XHTML MP or WML
2.x or greater. (the
legacy WAP / WML 1.x
will *NOT* be
supported) |
 | Some devices
come with a less
than ideal web
browser. Opera
makes a popular free
web browser for
wireless devices
called Opera
MINI that can be
installed on many
devices, more
information can be
found here:
http://www.operamini.com/ We've
tested with this
browser and found it
to be standards
compliant and to
work well with MBI
in initial testing. |
MBI
server requirements
MBI is an asp.net
application that runs on
Microsoft IIS web server
that comes with most
modern versions of
Windows. Exact
requirements are the
same as for our
WBI (web browser
interface) requirements:
MBI is not
intended to be a
replacement for the much
more full featured
WBI remote access
add-on product which is
more appropriate for
full fledged PC based
web browsing. MBI
is targeted specifically
for small screen
devices.
Refer to the AyaNova
4 Help file for
installation and
configuration of MBI
Features of MBI

 | For example,
when work is
completed at one
site, change the
status to Completed,
and change the
status on the next
workorder item to On
Route To, or if just
on site, change
status to On Site
(note that these are

reply, create new,

AyaNova memos.
Useful to receive
information from the
office while on the
road, as well as to
send information to

while out on the
road. |



 | View text of
existing Schedule
Markers
 |
 | Users can view
most recently viewed
objects, saving time
by being able to go
directly to the
object they were
recently working on.
 |
 | More features
will be added if
they are found to be
essential as
determined from
feedback; we want to
keep it simple,
small, fast and easy
to use on a small
screen device |
We also encourage feedback on our
AyaNova Support Forum.
Let us know:
 | What device you
tried MBI with |
 | What browser
used |
 | If you
encountered any
problems with the
existing features -
logging in,
selecting hyperlink
to open an existing
feature, etc |
 | Make any
suggestions in the
form of what task it
is that you want to
accomplish and why
needed in a mobile
format. |
Do note that due to
to limited nature of
small screen devices and
mobile browsers, we have
to be careful of what
features we add and how
we add them.
