FishbowlToGo is a mobile app that allows users to access content from Oracle WebCenter on their iPhone or Android devices. It provides features like searching for content, viewing documents, creating favorites, checking in new items, and reviewing workflow assignments. The app streamlines business processes by enabling tasks like invoice and purchase order approval from mobile devices. It also allows quick access to important documents on the go without paper copies. The app is available for free on app stores but a premium version provides additional capabilities when used with a FishbowlToGo license on the WebCenter server.

Fishbowl only focuses on software and services for Oracle WebCenter Content and Portal. Fishbowl is not a Microsoft partner.Most referencable partner in the world.
Fishbowl has unique expertise in bringing WebCenter content to mobile device, WebCenter Portal and Spaces user experience design, integrating WebCenter with SharePoint and today’s topic – Google Search Integration and Enterprise Search.
When we talk about managing or interacting with content from mobile devices one of the most important aspects is how you find and organize important content – documents, pictures, videos, etc. The goal is to give users the easiest user experience and provide efficient avenues for finding the documents they need to do their jobs.
In their email – maybe from a customer, vendor, or another business unit – it needs to get checked in so others can access/approve, etc.
Customer – quotes,
Add from Address BookType in AddressesSend to MultipleBadge IndicatorSecure Temporary Download SiteAssuming an asset has the taxonomy that permits distribution via email, an item can be added to a cart for distribution on a download server. The user can long press “Email Document” in either online, local, or folder view assets and add them to a cart. An indicator will identify how many assets are currently in the cart.The user can manually enter recipients or use the tablet’s native contact list to identify who should be sent a download notification link for the assets selected. The download server will confirm the requester has security permission to view the document before they can allow others to download the file. After sending the request, all users and items will clear from the email cart.
Navigation and Search are the initial ways that users can locate content. Folders allow users to set up their own folders and organize content in a way that is most useful for them.This can be as simple as adding docs to the favorites folder that comes with the app or as complex as creating nested folders for sales calls by territory and customer.Sales reps for customer visitsCommonly used policies. SubcategoriesUser-defined structure / heirarchyAuto synced with updates, deletes, etc.Automatically offline – unless specifically not offline access.The application includes a local folder structure. By default a favorites folder is included with the application. Users may create as many additional folders and subfolders as desired. Folders can contain any content that is available from the app and items can be added to multiple folders. Item can be added to folders from either the Online or Local view. When a user long-presses the item, a “Store to Folder” option will appear and the user can select the folder to add to. The folder view uses the same left nav as the Local and Online content libraries, but in this case, each node represents the content of a local folder. Content items are displayed in the document grid view and any child folders are displayed below the parent folder. Users can create or delete local their folder structure. An “Add Folder” button is present at the bottom of the left nav from the Folder view. Touching that button from the Folder View Landing Page prompts the user to enter a folder name and creates a new top-level folder. Touching the “Add Folder” button from any other location creates the new folder as a child of the active folder. Any items contained in folders will automatically be included in the local content library and will be available offline. These items will be updated each time the app syncs. Users can also remove items from folders by long-pressing the item from the folder view.
