UBIK® Client is the mobile application for viewing and modifying data, showing documents, starting navigation, visualizing POIs and much more.

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

Login

Users need to login in order to access confidential data, this can be done in the Login View.

Profiles

Content Browser

Allows to navigate through the entire data model in a hierarchical manner, as it is published by the server.

Initially, a list of objects ("root objects") is shown. Upon selecting an object, a new browser is opened for that object, showing details about it. When an object is selected in the content browser, it is called the browser's context. For such a contextual object, child objects and selected properties are shown. Also, there is a context menu providing actions related to the currently selected object.

Whenever content is being saved into the local database (for example, after a branch is downloaded from the server), there will be a blinking symbol indicating the saving activity is happening in the background. During that time, the user is advised to not logout or close the app because the content might be lost otherwise. However, it is okay to undertake other tasks such as browsing, editing or downloading branches.

Child Page

Child Page

The child page shows the context of a selected object.

The global status bar shows the icon, the name and the description of the selected object. An arrow on the left side allows the user to navigate back to the parent object. On the right side the currently logged-in user is indicated. By clicking on the username one is able to navigate back to the home screen or log off.

The right side of the child page shows child objects of the current object. Each child object is represented by an icon, a name and a description.

On the left side of the child page the current object´s high priority properties are shown. By clicking on a live value property, the live value details dialog opens. By clicking on an editable high priority property, an editor opens . If a property was edited a save button is shown in the lower left corner, allowing the user to commit the changes. If a property of a query object was edited an evaluate button is shown in the lower left corner, allowing the user to run the query with the changed propery.
