Q: Will Now Mobile be able to convert any Service Catalog Form/Variable to render on the Mobile App or are there any limitations or need to have to reformat Catalog request forms?

A: Currently Now mobile is referencing a web version of catalog form. The reason why they aren’t fully native is because native can’t render variables sets and support client scripts.

Q: Is there any security in mobile that only allows HR to see the cases mobile is used by both HR and IT?

A: Mobile accessibility is govern via HR roles, business rules, and ACLs.

Q: Can the same mobile app have both IT and HR portal items and widgets or does it need to be 2 different apps and how easy or hard to switch between IT and HR app landing pages?

A: Mobile can reference both IT and HR on a single app. It depends how you want to implement. For example, you can have two nav functions each pointing to /sp or /hr.

Q: Do you have any Video or documentation on Running SN Mobile with Azure InTune Mobile Device Management?

A: See our previous session on Device Security and Policy Enforcement. Be sure to check the timestamps in the description.

Q: Can we create a barcode scanning capability without having to associate a record: my understanding as of today is barcode scanning requires an associated field.

A: Scan is an action item which performs a write back. Unfortunately, it can’t pass the value to a nav function. For more information on QR scanning, we do have a previous academy on the subject.
