How to access the mobile tablet windchill

Hello, I am posting a question because I need a way to access windchill with my Galaxy Tab or iPad.

What I want to do now is to access windchill using a tablet and check 3D through Creoviewer.

As far as I know, windchill has stopped supporting mobile from version 11, so I would like to ask if there is any other way.

The point is

1. Can I access windchill with Galaxy Tab or iPad tablet

2. How to access each tablet if item 1 is possible

Thank you.

PTC abandoned the mobile app for Windchill, so your quick solution is to find a compatible browser to access full Windchill pages on the tablet. Definitely not Safari. The challenge will be using the full web UI on the tablet instead of a UI designed for mobile, but it definitely works. I do like @HelesicPetr recommendation to use Thingworx Navigate, but it does not have all the capabilities of Windchill, so it really depends on what your use case is for the tablet.

Hello @SP_10210577 

 

From my point of view the best way is ThingWorx Navigate 

Navigate dashboards are more suitable for mobile devices then full Windchill pages. 

Also you can develop own app/dashboard that covers yours needs on the mobile device.
