Summary
Kristian showed three mobile updates landing in pre-prod. Universal links now work on Evo Mobile: any URL in the format `domain/evo-mobile` opens directly in the app, navigates to the right screen, and pre-populates query parameters — the same experience you get when an Amazon link opens the Amazon app. The views ribbon is now on mobile too, showing your active view in a compact ribbon at the top with a familiar swipe-to-manage pattern. And a What's New button (red dot in the More tab) now surfaces the latest MFEs and panels added to your platform.

Thank you, Alex. I'm going to start over by talking about universal links for mobile. I want to explain how it works briefly.
We have added configuration to enable the Evo Mobile app to associate any links that are in the format of domain slash Evo Mobile. with the Evo Mobile app. And what this means is essentially if you have the Evo Mobile app installed, any domain, any URL that comes in this format would be associated with the Evo Mobile app and opened within it. And we have additionally configured the mobile app to listen to the rest of the queries passed here, which are organisation ID, MFE name, and additionally towards the end, which you cannot really see, is any additional query parameters.
So if we click on a URL that follows this format, it would open the Evil Mobile app. cheque the organization, it would cheque the MFE name passed and hopefully open that by passing down any optional parameters that you have included. The documentation additionally explains, gives you an example, explains the supported domains and explains this process in a bit more details. Which?
I am now going to demo. So I have the EVO mobile app here in my emulator. And just for the demo purposes, I have the example URLs in my messages.
But imagine any application would be able to open those links, or you would be able to open those links. from anywhere else. So the first example that I have over here is... for pre-prod, which is for my currently active organisation and a valid MFE name. iOS already recognises this URL is associated with Access Evo and provides me the option to open that within the app. And as we can see, the corresponding MFE opens and works correctly.
I also want to show another example which is for an invalid MFE name. Sorry, it's a bit hard to copy this. So again, the same organisation which is valid, but an invalid MFE name.
And hopefully that gets caught by the logic. And as we can see, I get an access denied, and it's a bit more of a generic message. We don't really provide a lot of details within it.
Another thing I want to show is valid MFE name, but... for a different organisation from the one that I'm currently logged into. and this get caught as well saying that the organisation is unavailable. And again, just a final example would be different organisation and invalid MFE name to show that, again, the organisation is invalid, so we don't go down the path of checking whether the MFE is valid or not. And I will put down a link of the documentation just for anyone that wants to explore this more or just reach out to Elliot.
And since I've got the sharing of screen, I want to provide some more updates. The first one is views for navigator. Just as a reminder, this is how the web looks like and your views would be here in the form of dropdown. where you can toggle between them.
For mobile, because we have more limited space, we have added this on the top here with a small ribbon that shows you the currently active view and provides you a dropdown. And similarly, I can just toggle between the different views that I have. Or I have the option at the bottom to manage my views, which if I click, will take me to a different panel, and I'm able to add a new view.
Or if I want to edit the name or delete an existing view, I can just swipe left, which is a common mobile pattern, and I can edit the name or I can delete. And similarly, if I just fully toggle, it will just assume that's the action I want to take, which is delete in this case. And we can just go back to the homepage.
And finally, what Chris Williams has been working on is the What's New button, which shows you the list of latest MFEs added, quick panels, etc. So that would be indicated by a red dot in the More tab. which if we click would show the what's new option. And if we click on it, just provides us additional information of what new has been added to the platform.
And that concludes my demo. Thank you. And if you have any questions, please put them in the chat.
Thanks.
