Google Chrome is the recommended browser for using PT Offline. If you are using an Apple device (iOS) you will need to visit the App Store to install Google Chrome. 2. PT Offline uses a browser caching method and is installed from the PeopleTray application while online. Installing from an App Store is not required. 3. Open PeopleTray on your mobile device while On-line. au.peopletray.com 4. On the left (black menu), click the button ‘Offline Options’. If your device has a small screen the black menu may be a black horizontal bar at the top of your screen – click it to open the menu. 5. Click the blue button for the checklist you wish to use offline. Fill out the form as if you are submitting the checklist. Then click the blue button labelled ‘Take Offline’. 6. The checklist for the equipment item you selected is now installed in the browser on your device. Repeat step 5 if you wish to take other another equipment item offline. 7. Click the Orange button named Offline App. This will open PT Offline and you should see buttons for the checklists you have installed offline. 8. You can use PT Offline while your device is online or offline. 9. If you are using Google Chrome, the PT Offline app will persist in the browser for 7 days from last use. If it is closed, you need to repeat steps 2 and 6 above. Using PT Offline once installed Open your browser then Click the Click the PT Offline Tab to open. Tabs button. Tabs in your browser will persist if you close, then reopen the Browser. However, if you close the PT Offline Tab from within your browser, or clear the browser data and history, you will need to open PT Offline – and follow steps 2 and 6 above. In Google Chrome, tabs are automatically closed if not used for 7 days. Syncing checklists to PeopleTray online Captured Checklist entries will automatically sync to the online database after about 15 seconds, when the offline application is open and the device is online. A blue flashing Syncing alert will display on the lower left of the screen when the device is uploading (syncing). Once complete, the table of captured checklists on the home page will be clear. Is my device offline? Online means that a device is connected to the Internet via a Network (e.g. WIFI) or via a cellular service (e.g. Telstra, Optus, iiNet or other). The strength of the signal is indicated by the number of filled dots in the signal strength bar. A low signal strength may mean that your device restricts activity to emergency calls. If there is no service you may not have access to any phone or data service. If your phone or data services are restricted for any reason you will need to use PT Offline to enter your checklist or report. You must install PT Offline according to the steps in this guide, while your device is online (and has a sufficient signal strength). People Offline Concept PeopleTray has introduced the ability to capture Checklists when your device is offline, using the PT Offline application. PT Offline uses a browser caching method and is installed from the PeopleTray application while online. Visiting an App Store is not required. The Equipment (Pre-starts) checklist option is available for use when offline. Options to capture other types of checklists will be added incrementally. A mobile device is offline if it is not connected to the Internet via a Network or Cellular service. An easy way to set a device to offline is to open Settings, then turn on Aeroplane Mode. This guide assumes one or more checklists have been configured in your PeopleTray account. (See the User Guide for setting up Checklists if required). Which browser to use on a mobile device? PeopleTray and PT Offline can use any mainstream mobile browser, and can be used on any device with such a browser. The device must be connected to the Internet to install PT Offline. The Google Chrome browser is the recommended browser if needing to work offline. Its main advantage is that the offline app persists for 7 days in the Chrome browser if not used. After 7 days, if not used, Chrome clears the cache and the Offline app must be opened again from the main PeopleTray application, while online. If you do not have Google Chrome on your device you will need to visit the App Store to install Google Chrome on your device. It should be preinstalled for Samsung (Android) devices, but not for Apple (iOS) devices. NB: For comparison, Safari closes cached applications in an unpredictable time frame, which could result in PT Offline being unavailable until PT Offline is opened again from PeopleTray while online. Also, Safari provides the option of adding a button to the home screen to open the current (e.g. PT Offline) browser page. Google Chrome on iOS does not provide an easy way to add a button to the home screen on an iOS device. Each browser/device combination has different features and behaviour. For detailed information on mobile devices and browsers, you will need to consult the available documentation or IT support service for your device. Installing PT Offline 1. Sign in to your PeopleTray account while on your mobile device, using the available web browser. 2. On the left menu, click Offline Options. (NB: See images below for location of Offline Options button for different screen sizes). Desktop View Desktop small screen Mobile Menu 3. In the below image - Click on the checklist button (e.g. Pre-start or Equipment Pre-start) for the Checklist that you wish to use offline. 4. Fill out the checklist header as if you are initiating a checklist in the usual way, then click the blue ‘Take Offline’ button. The checklist for the selected equipment item will be installed into a database on your mobile device. This database is accessed by the offline app to display the checklist. After installing the checklist on your device, PeopleTray returns to the Offline options page. 5. To install the offline application to the browser cache click the orange Offline App button. The offline application (PT Offline) will automatically open once installed. Clicking this button will also update PT Offline, and reinstall PT Offline if it is cleared from the devices browser cache. The offline application will open, with the Captured checklists are saved as a cached file installed checklists available as buttons on the on the device. They can be viewed by scrolling Home Page.

  • Web Browser a C-Class Article from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Web browser A C-class article from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A web browser or Internet browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content.[1] Hyperlinks present in resources enable users to easily navigate their browsers to related resources. Although browsers are primarily intended to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by Web servers in private networks or files in file systems. Some browsers can also be used to save information resources to file systems. Contents 1 History 2 Function 3 Features 3.1 User interface 3.2 Privacy and security 3.3 Standards support 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History Main article: History of the web browser The history of the Web browser dates back in to the late 1980s, when a variety of technologies laid the foundation for the first Web browser, WorldWideWeb, by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. That browser brought together a variety of existing and new software and hardware technologies. Ted Nelson and Douglas Engelbart developed the concept of hypertext long before Berners-Lee and CERN. It became the core of the World Wide Web. Berners-Lee does acknowledge Engelbart's contribution. The introduction of the NCSA Mosaic Web browser in 1993 – one of the first graphical Web browsers – led to an explosion in Web use. Marc Andreessen, the leader of the Mosaic team at NCSA, soon started his own company, named Netscape, and released the Mosaic-influenced Netscape Navigator in 1994, which quickly became the world's most popular browser, accounting for 90% of all Web use at its peak (see usage share of web browsers).

  • An Empirical Evaluation of Security Indicators in Mobile Web Browsers
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MOBILE COMPUTING, VOL. 14, NO. 5, MAY 2015 889 An Empirical Evaluation of Security Indicators in Mobile Web Browsers Chaitrali Amrutkar, Patrick Traynor, Member, IEEE, and Paul C. van Oorschot, Member, IEEE Abstract—Mobile browsers are increasingly being relied upon to perform security sensitive operations. Like their desktop counterparts, these applications can enable SSL/TLS to provide strong security guarantees for communications over the web. However, the drastic reduction in screen size and the accompanying reorganization of screen real-estate significantly changes the use and consistency of the security indicators and certificate information that alert users of site identity and the presence of strong cryptographic algorithms. In this paper, we perform the first measurement of the state of critical security indicators in mobile browsers. We evaluate ten mobile and two tablet browsers, representing over 90% of the market share, against the recommended guidelines for web user interface to convey security set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). While desktop browsers follow the majority of guidelines, our analysis shows that mobile browsers fall significantly short. We also observe notable inconsistencies across mobile browsers when such mechanisms actually are implemented. We show where and how these failures on mobile browsers eliminate clues previously designed for, and still present in, desktop browsers to detect attacks such as phishing and man-in-the-middle. Finally, we offer advice on where current standards are unclear or incomplete. Index Terms—Measurement, mobile security, SSL indicators, web browsers 1INTRODUCTION OBILE browsers provide a rich set of features that and tablet browsers appear to support similar security M often rival their desktop counterparts.

  • Taxonomy of Mobile Web Applications from a Taxonomy and Business Analysis for Mobile Web Applications
    Chapter 3: Taxonomy of Mobile Web Applications from A Taxonomy and Business Analysis for Mobile Web Applications By Kevin Hao Liu Ph.D. Computer Science Victoria University Submitted to the System Design and Management Program in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Management and Engineering At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology February 2009 © 2009 Kevin H Liu. All rights reserved The author hereby grants to MIT permission to reproduce and to distribute publicly paper and electronic copies of this thesis document in whole or in part in any medium now known or hereafter created. ABSTRACT Mobile web applications refer to web applications on mobile devices, aimed at personalizing, integrating, and discovering mobile contents in user contexts. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of mobile web applications by proposing a new taxonomy for mobile web applications, and conducting a business analysis in the field of mobile web applications. The thesis reviews the current surrounding environment for mobile web applications, namely, web 2.0 and 3.0, wireless communication technology, and Smartphone platform. The recent entry and success of Apple’s iPhone greatly enhanced the public awareness of the Smartphone technology. Google’s release of open-source Android platform and T-Mobile’s deployment of Android-powered “Dream” Smartphone not only intensify the competition among suppliers, but also provide an open-source foundation for mobile web applications. This thesis introduces a new mobile web application taxonomy to systematically study the values and the groupings of the mobile web applications. By introducing features and categories, the taxonomy provides a framework so the related companies and businesses can be comparatively analyzed and summarized.

  • Emerging Technologies E-Texts, Mobile Browsing, and Rich Internet Applications
    Language Learning & Technology October 2007, Volume 11, Number 3 http://llt.msu.edu/vol11num3/emerging/ pp. 8-13 EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES E-TEXTS, MOBILE BROWSING, AND RICH INTERNET APPLICATIONS Robert Godwin-Jones Virginia Commonwealth University Online reading is evolving beyond the perusal of static documents with Web pages inviting readers to become commentators, collaborators, and critics. The much-ballyhooed Web 2.0 is essentially a transition from online consumer to consumer/producer/participant. An online document may well include embedded multimedia or contain other forms of invited user interactivity such as questionnaires, annotations, pop-up windows, or animations. Adobe's recently released Adobe Digital Editions illustrates the trend, moving from static PDF's (read with the Adobe Reader) to a Rich Internet Application (RIA) in which PDF's are just one possible resource alongside many others. Apple's new iPhone sets another interesting marker in terms of accessing online documents, as it forgoes entirely any type of local file access and relies on ubiquitous network access for retrieving documents. On the other hand, electronic devices dedicated to the reading of texts have recently been introduced, taking advantage of new technologies for an improved e-book reading experience. In this column we will be looking at these and other recent developments as they pertain to accessing and experiencing electronic texts, and what these developments might mean for language learning. WEB TEXTS The proliferation of authentic texts on the Web is far from enough to guarantee that language learners can profitably delve into texts they have located to help them in their language acquisition.
