Most of the edit features available on the regular OfficeClip are also available on the web version of the product. To keep the mobile edition simpler to use, the following features are not currently available on the mobile edition:
- New filters cannot be created from the mobile interface. The existing filters (created by using the regular web interface) can be used.
- Reports will not be available.
- New html campaigns cannot be designed.
- Some administrative features, e.g., designing new user-defined fields and rules, cannot be used.
It is sometimes hard to use a mobile browser to log in to any website because it is cumbersome to type the userID and password. To circumvent this problem, OfficeClip mobile implementation comes with a customized url for every user, which you can use by doing the following:
- Log in to your OfficeClip site using a regular browser and click on the Mobile icon at the top right.
- Send the resulting url to your Iphone via sms.
- Then go to the Iphone and while reading the sms, click on the link to go to the OfficeClip Mobile website.
- Save the site as your favorite icon.
- Click on “Next” to access OfficeClip.
