Alfresco mobileapps enable round-trip editing
Alfresco has announced the availability of Alfresco Mobile 1.2 -- the newest version of its iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad.
The apps now enable round-trip editing of documents through Quickoffice integration on the iPad, making it possible for business users to edit documents on their mobile device and save changes back to the Alfresco content store with full version control and without the hassle of manual processes.
“Businesses have long been searching for a real solution that properly equips mobile devices for enterprise-grade content creation, and not just consumption,” said John Powell, CEO of Alfresco.
“Alfresco Mobile 1.2 makes it possible for businesses to enable incredibly powerful mobile content collaboration within an IT environment that requires security and scalability. We’re very proud to be the first enterprise content management player to deliver on this need.”
Enhancements & New Features in Alfresco Mobile 1.2 Include:
· App-to-app integration with Quickoffice allows users to open documents directly from Alfresco into Quickoffice, make edits, and immediately "Save Back" to Alfresco. Alfresco automatically updates the version number and metadata of the document, so changes can be rolled-back;
· Support for multiple Alfresco repositories, all accessible through a new in-app settings interface. Users can now download documents from different repositories to a common Downloads section;
· iPad friendly layout, with full-screen preview of any content type, including document, presentations,spreadsheets, PDFs and video files (with AirPlay integration)
· Integrated social features, such as the ability to "Like" documents and add Comments from iPhone or iPad;
· Mobile view of your Alfresco activity feed that allows you to see what colleagues are doing in Alfresco;
· “Open In” functionality allows you to open documents from Alfresco in native iPhone & iPad apps.
