5 2 New Card UI Web App 2 New Card UI Web App The Web App is the new browser interface that will replace the "classic" Icontrol Subscriber Portal. The classic Subscriber Portal is still available, however it will no longer be updated with new features or fixes. 3 Updated Navigation The views on the Mobile App (Pages, Activity, Automations, and Settings) can be accessed from the bottom of the screen. The user can tap the icon for each view to navigate between views. On the Mobile App, the Manage Devices screen can be accessed by navigating to Settings > Manage Devices. 7.1 Oahu Mobile & Web Apps Release Notes 5

6 4 Pages 4 Pages The Card UI Web and Mobile App interfaces are made up of pages and tiles. Each device and group of devices is represented as a tile. The user can modify the default My Home page or create additional pages and add tiles to customize the user interface. Tiles can be used on multiple pages. Pages created are local to the app they are created in; they do not propagate to the apps in other browsers or mobile devices. In the Web App, pages can be created by hovering over the Pages menu at the top of the screen and selecting Page [x] from the drop- down menu. In the Mobile App, pages can be created by swiping left in the Pages view to the next blank page (Page [x]). In both the Web App and the Mobile App, pages can be modified by clicking/tapping the Edit button at the bottom of a page or by navigating to Settings > Pages. 7.1 Oahu Mobile & Web Apps Release Notes 6
