Mobile Simulator

Has anyone tried using iPhone 5c Simulator - Responsive Design Testing Websites to test any of the functionality?   Or what solutions do you guys use to test the Mobile functionality?   The tablet module has the "Switch to Tablet View" to see how it looks, I was unable to find any such thing for Mobile.   I tried finding such a discussion on the community, but was unable to.

I dont know if helps, but if your purpose is to show on the computer, the iphone or Ipad screen. I use this itool that accomplished that purpose.



It is a simple way to cast the screen of the device on your monitor, and present the SNOW interface. You only need the iphone/ipad, the cable, install itunes and execute the app.



On the menu select > Iphone > Desktop > Tab "Live Desktop"



It work on PC and Mac.

Another option I find to be rather flexible is using the mobile emulation right in Google Chrome.



First bring up Dev Tools in Chrome


https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/index


Then open up the Emulation panel


https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/mobile-emulation



It has a wide range of devices you can emulate from phones to tablets, plus you can enter in custom parameters as well if you have a certain need for that.


firefox has a very similiar toolset allowing you to use a mobile interface to test webpages. also

Also, if you add the following to your instance URL it will display the appropriate views right in your browser window.


This only works in Dublin and up.



Mobile view   -   yourinstance.service-now.com/$m.do#


Tablet view     -   yourinstance.service-now.com/$tablet.do#



For pre-dublin you can use the following to see the old mobile view:


yourinstance.service-now.com/navpage.do?sysparm_device=mobile



To get back to the browser instance, use the following:


Browser view -   yourinstance.service-now.com/navpage.do?sysparm_device=browser
