At the end of August we will be releasing the Prism 3 mobile device interface to demo. It will then be released to live in mid-September. This new feature has been built specifically in the mobile device context – only a small screen area, and a need for immediate and quick answers.

Some of the front end features that will benefit users include touch-swipe paging and a home screen icon, allowing the mobile interface to be more app-like. The URL for your catalogue will also remain the same; Prism 3 will detect the device being used and automatically render in the mobile interface. Some new web browser features, including caching pre-loaded searches and use of HTML5, allow the interface to be much quicker and responsive for the user.

Our senior developer on Prism 3, Matt Machell, explains these and other features in more detail in this recording of the latest Prism 3 mobile interface webinar. To get this feature enabled on your catalogue when it goes into demo, please raise a support case.
