the screen opens with the Find tab already selected, as shown earlier in Figure 4-4. The other tabs you will notice at the bottom of the screen include a News tab and a Me tab. The Find tab is critical to the SharePoint Mobile App for a number of reasons. The most obvious is that SharePoint has a lot of stuff, and your mobile device has a small screen. Finding the stuff you need can be a challenge.

      The Find tab includes sections for your Frequent SharePoint sites, People, Recent files, and Featured links. Under the Frequent sites, People, and Recent files sections, you can expand the search even further beyond your frequently visited sites. For example, you can browse for more files or search for a file in the Recent files section, and search for more people in the People section.

      Exploring a SharePoint site

      We can swipe the screen with our thumb and move down the screen. The first section we see is called News. The next section is called Events, which is followed by a Documents section.

      The reason we are seeing these sections is because we created the site using the Team site template. It may not have been obvious in Chapter 1 that we created a Team site because the process of getting started with this template is very straightforward. We cover creating sites using other templates in Chapter 5, and in those cases, you will see different sections as you open those sites in the SharePoint Mobile App.

You can customize the sections that show up on the default page of a SharePoint site. For example, if you want to add a particular SharePoint Library or List app you have created, you are free to do so. We cover how to do this in Chapter 6.

      Opening navigation

      

The SharePoint site you view in the SharePoint Mobile App is the exact same SharePoint site you can view in your web browser on a desktop or laptop computer. If you change a SharePoint site, you are changing the site for both the users of the SharePoint Mobile App and for those who access the site through a traditional web browser. As you develop your SharePoint sites, it is a good idea to keep in mind the experience users will have on the site when they are using their web browsers or their phones or tablets.

      The News tab is a one-stop location for all the news coming in from across the various parts of SharePoint that you have access to. This includes news from different sites as well as announcements and other social news posts.

      You will notice a listing of a couple of pages we recently worked on: “My First Page” and “first-webpart-page.” These pages show up because SharePoint thinks that since we recently worked on these, we might want to view our latest work. This is a recurring theme throughout SharePoint.

      

One of the recurring complaints of SharePoint in the past was that there was just too much content “stuff” everywhere, and it was hard to find anything. This problem becomes bigger when you are working on a small smartphone screen or tablet because you don’t have as much screen real estate to view things. The solution Microsoft came up with is to show your recent content first, since it is likely that what you were recently working on, say before lunch, you will want to continue working on after lunch. We cover working with content in greater detail in Chapter 7.
