Things to consider for 6.4.1• Need of external access to an instance of

OTM for mobile app access.• Who will be using the mobile app and

understanding the setup.• How to utilize events entered in the app.

10

External OTM Site• Our friends at Hitachi Consulting have been hosting our

EBS/OTM servers for about two years now, and quicklysetup a reverse proxy connection to allow us access to OTMfrom an outside connection.

• Another option would be to have a VPN setup on the smartdevice using the mobile app and on the OTM server.

• If you can’t access your OTM instance from outside yournetwork then you won’t be able to connect a smart phone ortablet to the instance from the mobile app.

Setups in the OTM User-InterfaceVPD – Mobile App Visibility

Apps can be difficult to use and understand. The

VPD can help make the app more user-friendly by

limiting what’s visible to the user.
