Lookout Mobile Web

Lookout Mobile Web provides many of the same features as the main Lookout Page in Aurea Social. The main goals are to let users view and respond to stream items as well as posting microblogs, questions and private messages.

The Lookout Mobile Web interface is an HTML5 solution aimed at those users who are unable to leverage the Aurea Social Sites native mobile apps for whatever reason.

Your Lookout Mobile Web site is bundled with Aurea Social server and can be accessed from a mobile browser at https://[yourAurea Social instance]/_layouts/mobile/ng/

Lookout Mobile Administration

Setting up the Aurea Social Icon

Lookout Mobile Web has two settings. They are accessed in Central Admin by going to the NewsGator Social Platform Service and selecting Mobile Settings. The settings at the top of the page refer to native mobile clients.

The title setting is intended to give a simple branding experience to help users know this interface is part of their broader intranet / Aurea Social deployment. For example, at NewsGator, the intranet is named “Hal”, so here we use “Hal Lookout” as the title in the mobile browser.

The color option gives a simple way to make the header color match a standard color you use on your intranet.
