Changes

Client applications are available for Android and Windows 8.1WinX, however the features available on each of the platform dependent applications might differ. An overview of the available features can be found in the [[Client_Feature_Table|feature comparison table]].

Users need to login in order to access confidential data, this can be done in the [[Login Dialog]] ({{Version/AndroidSince|2.5.0}}).

There is the possibility to define user credentials on a webservice. The user might get a different login UI then, for further information please take a look at [[Serverside Account Configuration]].{{Version/AndroidSince|2.5.0}}

The navigation drawer provides a convenient and familiar way of navigating the app. {{Version/AndroidSince|2.4.0}} There are two ways of opening/closing the drawer.

From the [[File:UBIK_Android_UI_Content_Browser_Context_actions.png|400px|border|thumb|alt=Context Menu|Context Menu, ]]In the Content Browser a context sensitive menu is available where actions can be triggered that are relevant for the currently viewed object.E.g., For example the creation of a child element or showing this object in another view. [[File:UBIK_Android_UI_Content_Browser_Context_actions.png|400 px|thumb|border|alt=Context Menu|Context Menu]]

{{Hint|Some actions are summarized united in groups, e.g. the ''Geo Actions'' or the ''Delete Actions''. Clicking on the respective icons opens a selection dialog for the detail actions. <br/>Depending on the current object, some actions might not be available. If a group consequently contains only one element, it is displayed directly instead of the group.}}

In some cases it might be useful to lock objects until the user varifies that he is to be near to these objects. This can be done with the [[SYSCLS_UNLOCK_BY_SCAN | SYSCLS UNLOCK BY SCAN]] classification {{Version/AndroidSince|2.5.2}}and [[SYSCLS_UNLOCK_GROUP_BY_SCAN]] {{Version/AndroidSince|3.<br/>Objects 1.0}} classifications. Instances of MetaClasses with implementing this classification can only be edited, if after the Object object gets unlocked. The unlocking can currently happen by scanning any type of code (QR-Code, Barcode, ID-Marker, RFID, OCR), which is related to the desired according object. After a given amount certain period of time (default=15min) the object gets locked again. <br/>Take care that objects which have In the [[SYSCLS_UNLOCK_BY_SCAN | SYSCLS UNLOCK BY SCAN]] classification also need properties(e.g. QR-Code Property) allowing the user to unlock these objects.<br/>If an object is locked, it is not possible to edit its properties. Furthermore context actions like redlining or editing case of documents, geo teach-in and deletion of the object on the server is not possible.Basically the locking is the same for all types Unlocking a group of objects, except for work packages – unlocking them alternatively also means unlocking all underlying items (Tasks, Commissioning Checks) as wellmore than one object can be unlocked at once by sharing a common unlock code.

There are {{UBIK}} has built-in editors for each different property typetypes, including String, Integer, Double, Boolean, DateTime and , Geo Datadata and Selective list.Clicking on the input field of a property (or task) will open the respective editor. 

{{Version/AndroidSince|2.5.0}}, the  The content browser's tabs (children, properties and documents) are only shown if necessary (and if they aren't are not empty).<br/>For some types of objects (e.g., tasks), specific tabs are always shown though - , especially if a tab is considered the main view for that object.<br/><br/>It is possible to configure this feature in order to behave more precisely as desired.<br/>By default, the children tab is shown if no other view should be shown explicitely and if the client has no information whether there are children or not.<br/>This means that for objects where (by customizing) the properties tab or the documents tab should be shown when entering the browser, the children view is only shown if it is not empty.<br/> However, if nothing is configured, the children tab will be shown by default, because there could be children on the server and it would be annoying for the user to not see the children tab at all until something is loaded.<br/> This is the other way round for the properties tab, because properties are always known as soon as the object itself is available on the client.<br/> 

There are basically two ways to configure the dynamic tabs feature.<br/>:First, one * One can configure the [[SYSCLS_CHILDINFOOWNER|Children Information Classification, ]] (former: Document Owner Classification]].This ): this will lead to a precise behaviour of the dynamic tabs, because the client has more detailed knowledge about the children of respectively classified objects.<br/>* Another possibility is the configuration of the [[SYSCLS_SHOWPROPERTIES]] or [[SYSCLS_SHOWDOCUMENTS]] classifications. This : this will lead to the displaying of the properties/documents tab as initial view, even if it is empty.

=== Positioning ===The user can choose different positioning methods. In addition geo-information from nearby objects can be used through [[UBIK Client Basics#Object Proximity Positioning|Object Proximity Positioning]]. ==== Object Proximity Positioning ====The location of nearby Geo-Objects can be used for positioning. The position of a Geo-Object can be used manually by pushing the button {{key press|Use LocationUBIK}} in the clients use a [[UBIK Client Basics#Context MenuLocation_Manager|Context MenuLocation Manager]].  The geo information of an object gets used automatically if exactly one single object is found through scanning. If more objects are found, in order to gain knowledge about their geo information doesn´t get used. Scanning includes [[UBIK Client Basics#ID Marker|ID Marker]]position, [[UBIK Client Basics#Bar Code|Bar Code]], [[UBIK Client Basics#QR Code|QR Code]], [[UBIK Client Basics#OCR|OCR]], [[UBIK Client Basics#RFID|RFID]], [[UBIK Client Basics#Markerless|Markerless]] and [[UBIK Client Basics#ID Marker 3D|ID Marker 3D]]. The automatic use of Geo-Object´s location so it can be turned off by disabling the "EnableObjectProximityPositioning" setting.    ==== iBeacon-Trilateration Positioning ====iBeacons are small, battery-powered devices, which are sending an unique identifier via Bluetooth Low Energy. iBeacons have to be mounted on known positions inside a building. If more than three beacons are in reach of the mobile device, the position of help the user can be calculated. In order navigate to use iBeacon-Trilateration as a Positioning System, Bluetooth Low Energy has to be available and enabled on the mobile devicehis/her target. If a new environment should be equipped with iBeacon-Positioning, an expert has to mount iBeacons on known positions and calibrate the transmission behaviour of these beacons. Currently the positions of beacons have to be hardcoded into UBIK through the Development Team. In future this should happen through UBIK Studio. 

A [[Mobile_Free_Text_Search|free text search feature]] is available in the Action Bar ({{Version/AndroidSince|2.4.5}}). The search action item opens a text input field when clicked. Use it to find objects by their Meta Class name, their Display Strings or properties. The search feature works online and offline.{{Version/AndroidSince|2.4.5}}

Provides a fast and convenient way for users to find objects that are identifiable through [[OCR|OCR]] ({{Version/AndroidSince|2.5.0}}). If the scanned Object is a Geo-Object, it´s location can be used through [[UBIK Client Basics#Object Proximity Positioning|Object Proximity Positioning]]. {{Version/AndroidSince|2.5.0}}
