Create a mobile channel to configure, customize, and generate your mobile app. For example, you can set up a mobile channel for an expense reporting application, to build an app that supports users who work away from their desks.

  1. In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Channels.

  2. In the Create new channel interface section, click the Mobile tile.

  3. In the New mobile interface window, in the Name field, enter the label for your app.

  4. Optional:

    To clarify the purpose of your app, in the Description field, enter a meaningful summary of the app.

  5. Click Submit.

  6. In the new mobile channel tab, click Save.

Note: In the new mobile channel for your Pega Platform application, you can begin adding content to your app. Your new mobile channel contains a set of out-of-the-box components that you can use as a starting point in the design of your app.
For example:

  • Adding content to mobile apps

    Enhance the content of your mobile app by managing the out-of-the-box user interface pages or adding custom ones. For example, you can create a native page with a list of pending expense reports that managers can process. You can further improve the user experience in your mobile app by implementing native components, such as mobile search or a floating action button.
