First of all, you need to point your WAP enabled mobile device to the entry address
of the WAP interface on your BSCW server; this depends on the configuration
of your BSCW server (please ask your BSCW administrator for details).
On the FIT server, for instance, the URL to enter is
http://bscw.gmd.de/wap --
it's advisable to bookmark the page once you've managed
to enter it into your device.
|
The start page asks you to authenticate as a registered BSCW user.
Please note that you need to be registered beforehand - it's
not possible to register with BSCW using the WAP interface.
Enter your username and password when prompted.
|
|
After successful authentication you'll see the portal page -- all services
are accessible from this page and you'll always return to this page from
one of the selected services.
|
|
On the portal page you may choose one of the provided services:
Workspaces, Report, Email and Help. The Workspaces function allows you to
browse the contents of your folders. Report provides an overview
of recent activities within your workspaces. The Email feature
may be used to send e-mail to a member of your address book.
|
|
In Workspaces, a list of your (shared) folders is presented.
The owner and the last modification date is shown for each folder.
You may open a folder by following the associated link or return
to the portal page.
|
|
When you select a document in a folder listing, details about the document
are presented. This info page contains the document description,
size, type and information about the last modification.
|
|
The Report page welcomes you with a short overview of recent
activities - the events are listed on subsequent pages, sorted by workspaces.
Only those events are shown which you have subscribed to in
the "Daily Report" section of your personal event configuration
(Preferences).
|
|
for each workspace, all recent activities are presented.
Select Next to show the events in the following workspace.
Once you've confirmed all workspace activities, you'll be led back
to the portal page.
|
|
The Email service invites you to select an addressee from your BSCW
address book. Choose the desired recipient and select "Edit Mail".
|
|
The "Edit Mail" form allows you the change the recipient's address,
provide a subject, and edit the actual message you want to send.
When done, select "Send Mail".
|
|
On successful delivery, a confirmation message is shown - choose "OK"
to go back to the portal page.
