K2 on your Mobile

All the latest updates from K2 have had some “pluming” done for easier access to K2 Services like the Worklist and SmartObjects. The K2 sync services are designed to be used for mobile applications.

Just a few months later, K2 has released a iPhone and BlackBerry app to handle your worklist on your phone. The apps are very easy to use and require you to have the K2 Services installed and configured correctly. After that, you’ll be able to handle things with one generic application.

For your mobile applications, you’ll probably want a specific form to handle a task and JeyLabs has just released JeyLabs mobile for K2 to help you with that!
The software allows you to easily design these tasks forms! I’d definitely check it out, if you are planning to allow your users to handle their tasks from their mobile device!
