Accessing Garoon from a mobile device

When you access Garoon from a Web browser on a mobile device, the interface is optimized for smartphone displays (mobile view).
The mobile view can be displayed via either of the following methods:

Displaying mobile view via these methods brings up the "Personal week" page from the Scheduler first.
The system administrator can choose to disable mobile view.

Tip

  • When accessing Garoon from an environment with client certificate authentication, import a client certificate into the smartphone Web browser.

  • In an environment with Basic authentication, enter the appropriate Basic authentication user name and password when you access the login screen.

Check the PC view from a mobile device

On a mobile device, tap > "PC view" to show the screen that would normally appear when accessing Garoon from a computer.
The Garoon home page will appear as it would on a computer.
Tapping "PC view" on any screen on a mobile device will always bring up Garoon home page.

Tip

  • You can also scroll to the bottom of mobile view and tap "PC view" to show the PC-optimized screen.
