How to force Tablet Mode on Desktop Browser? (Helsinki)

[Vespertinus]

As written on docs the $tablet.do URL does not work anymore with Helsinki.

I am not looking for $m.do, that is working fine for Mobile Interface.

How to force Tablet Mode on a Desktop Browser to check some development?

Thx and br

If your instance is an updated Geneva instance then most likely it's still a hangover from previous incarnations. If it's a fresh Helsinki build you should see something like:

Confirmed. Thanks David!

If you've done an upgrade, you may also be missing some niceties found in a stock Helsinki instance (given that the test data in Geneva is treated as "customer data" and not replaced with Helsinki stock test data).  

In particular I found the following caught me out:

• nicer range of products in the Service Catalogue (the S6 is ablaze!)
• RITMs now have SCTASK# not TASK# as part of the fulfilment process
• A "New Hire" order guide that illustrates different bundles according to chosen options.
• The list of reports includes a Map type

Initially I zbooted my Geneva instance then did an upgrade - but found a fresh Helsinki build was closer to the lab instances I use for training.   Hope that helps, Chuck lad!

We are on Helsinki P5 and we are still able to access $tablet.do , Do you have any idea how to get it fixed so that tablet users will be redirected to desktop view?

[Dave Smith1]

I can't test this here, but in Geneva I found a trick when stuck on $tablet.do was to access $m.do then pick "desktop view" from the menu - it forced a return back to non-mobile view.

My Helsinki instance no longer contains these pages so I cannot try it out, sorry.
