User Interface
On the Safari Web browser on the iPad, the appearance of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Web client applications is the same as how they appear in a Web browser on a desktop client. The difference between the two lies in how you navigate and interact with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application forms and features.
On the iPad, you use touch-screen gestures to navigate and interact with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Web client applications. You can use gestures that are native to the iPad. For example, you can use a native gesture such as swiping your finger upward on the iPad screen to scroll down through a form. You can tap a field or a cell in the application grid to access a keyboard for entering data.
You also can use context-sensitive gestures designed specifically for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Web client. For a list of context-sensitive gestures, see JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Context-Sensitive Gestures.
Note:
Some JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Web client features are not supported on the iPad. See JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Features Not Supported on the iPad for more information.Increasing the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Menu Display Size
You can use the native iPad reverse-pinch gesture to zoom in on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Menu. Alternatively, you can tap Preferences on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Menu and then tap the Zoom check box to increase the display size of the menu.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Context-Sensitive Gestures
Oracle provides context-sensitive gestures for working with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Web client. To perform a context-sensitive gesture, you must begin the gesture in a particular area in the Web client application, either in the menu area, the form area, or the grid area. For example, performing a context-sensitive gesture in the menu area at the top of a form closes a form; performing a context-sensitive gesture in the form area opens the Form Exit menu.
Note:
On the iPad, you can access a description of all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne context-sensitive gestures by clicking the "About(i)" link in the upper-right corner of any JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application.The following sections describe the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne context-sensitive gestures.
