Gestures Used with Mobile Devices

When you use a mobile device to access your PeopleSoft applications, your interactions will differ from how you interact when using a browser on a desktop or laptop computer. In part, this is due to the gestures used to interact directly with the mobile device. In addition, this can be due to how PeopleSoft applications are displayed on mobile devices.

Mobile devices use an interface that enables you to use finger gestures to interact with the device and its applications. This table describes the common gestures that you use to interact with PeopleSoft applications on mobile devices.
