Device Channels

Nowadays it is too common to browse websites on mobile devices, and SharePoint sites should be highly readable and easy to use on smartphones and other mobile devices such as tablets.

In previous versions of SharePoint, SharePoint automatically generated a single default phone view based on existing sites, and the default phone view was not easy to customize. Now, applying device channels in SharePoint 2013, you can use different designs for different devices based on a single publishing site.

Create a site to author content once, and then sites and content can be mapped to different master pages, page layouts, and style sheets for specific devices.

Limit:

This feature is available only on publishing sites.

There are 10 device channels per site collection.

Each device channel contains 150 rules.

The publishing site for SharePoint 2013 optimizes mobile development . You can use the Device channel feature to define channels for one or more devices-giving you more precise control over how users experience your site.

You can assign an interactive master page to each channel and give it a unique chrome (note: Chrome doesn't quite understand what it means). You can choose to include or not include a portion of the page layout to preview the progress of the mobile channel design being developed. The device channel is search engine optimized (SEO).

You can use them to change the appearance of existing pages to support mobile scenarios, and you can use channels to force specific occurrences on a particular device-forcing the channel. This is useful when you define render output for a specified mobile device.

Mobile Backup Device Channel

Whether the device is recognized as a mobile device depends on

Device channel Panel

The Device channel panel is a new control that you can include in the page to control which channel outputs what content.

It is a container that maps to one or more channels: when one or more channels are activated when the page is rendered, all the contents of the device's channel panel will be rendered. This helps you decide when a particular channel will contain a specific content.

The author mentions that there are some bugs, but based on the preview version, it may be fixed now.

Mobile Panel

Once you have created the device channel, you can also point to the channel through the move panel.

<publishing:mobilepanel runat= "Server" includedchannels= "iPad3" > <div>this content would only is shown on an I Pad 3. Cool!</div> </Publishing:MobilePanel>

A property called "Includechannels" allows the user to specify which channel the panel points to, and you can specify multiple channels (separated by commas). You can add query parameters by accessing the ? Devicechannel=devicechannelaliasThe page to test its appearance. such as Http://domain.com/pages/default.aspx?DeviceChannel=iPad3.

In the same way, the author says it has some bugs.
