Your Customer's Journey
Good news: CM WebClient 1.8.7 has been released.

We spend a good chunk of our time on this newsletter helping you find ways to solve technical challenges and leverage CM WebClient to make better CA Plex web apps for your users.

For the most part, we try to incorporate usability concerns into our technical tutorials, so you can accomplish your technical goals like making a calendar, sending email, or offering your users non-intrusive but secure authentication with the best end-result possible for the user.

Moving forward, our aim is to spend more time helping you focus on the end user's goals and making their journey a more successful one. To that end, we found an article that does a good job helping you design better tooltips for your mobile users. Read on for the article.

And of course, to help you leverage CM WebClient in your web application efforts, feel free to browse our tutorial articles below and on the CM First site.

Happy app-making!

Heads Up
Design Better Tooltips for Mobile User Interfaces
Squeezing and prioritizing important information into mobile user interfaces can be a real challenge, particularly for apps that present lots of data. Thankfully, technology has come a long way and we can use things like tooltips to ease the user's journey towards their end-goal.

Smashing Mag has a helpful tutorial in their article titled "Design Better Tooltips for Mobile User Interfaces".

Create An Outlook-Style Events Calendar

Calendar views are a must-have for many web-based applications. Normally, coding them into your app becomes a real challenge when your users are on the go and have a need for mobile-based viewing.

Create Rich Tooltips and Popups

In many Plex applications, basic screens show only “need to know” information, with a link to more detail. With CM WebClient, create handy tooltips that provide a better user experience.

Knowing When Enough is Enough in Mobile Design

As programmers have learned since the beginning of coding, it can be difficult to feel your program is ‘done.’ There’s always more tweaking you can do, but are you really making it better?

Better Display of Static Content

Content sourced from a database table can be concise but confusing and less than helpful.

Improve the display of your data with custom html and provide a much better experience for your users.
