Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central allows users to access their data from a browser, tablet, or phone. The phone and tablet client provides users the flexibility to perform tasks while away from the browser.
There are several user experience differences between the different clients; The web client is intended for full application use, whereas the tablet and phone client are touch-optimized with the layout designed for the smaller screens.
In a mobile world, when developing a solution, it is crucial to consider the user experience with your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central application on mobile devices. It is possible to open the tablet or phone client from a browser to make it easier to test a solution and consider the users’ experience. Depending on your application’s use and user experience, you may want a separate Role Center for mobile clients with pages with a carefully selected list of actions and fields.
To open the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central tablet or phone client in a browser, append either “tablet” or “phone” after the instance of your Business Central installation.
For example:
Web Client:
http://bc20/BC/?tenant=default
http://bc20/BC/?tenant=default&page=22
Tablet:
http://bc20/BC/tablet/?tenant=default
http://bc20/BC/tablet/?tenant=default&page=22
Phone:
http://bc20/BC/phone/?tenant=default
http://bc20/BC/phone/?tenant=default&page=22
You can open the mobile client for a specific page, tenant, profile, company, report, or web client address by including the “tablet” or “phone” designator in the address after the instance name.
