Mobile applications (apps) are supported and included in the Niagara Framework. These apps and the supporting Niagara environment are designed to work with modern browsers on a personal computer, a mobile phone, or other hand-held devices.

Mobile apps have the potential to run on a variety of platforms, including: iPhone, Android or Blackberry operating systems.

The primary value of mobile web apps is their ability to present users with information in a hand-held browser. However, before the user can view, edit, and navigate between these apps, the apps must be licensed, installed, and configured on a station using NiagaraAX Workbench. The apps that are provided with Workbench are easy to install and configure using a simple set of characteristic NiagaraAX properties. For more information refer to the NiagaraAX Mobile Guide.
