PhoneClient NAV 2016 and Timesheets

Hi,

We have configured Phone Client for users to use the timesheet functionality.
But when users use a mobile device they get a message that the task can't be executed on the current device.


Does anyone have experience with this issue?

    Just found out that Pages of the type Worksheet are not supported for the phone client.

    I have come up with 2 workarounds:
    1. Create a new page which isn't type "Worksheet"
    2. Ask the customer if he is willing to buy tablets for each employee

    I think I will be working on option 1 the next few days :smile:
    I'm open for other suggestions

    We created a multi-company timesheet solution for our own internal billing. Works great with 2016 phone client as well as web client. If you're interested I can give you a quick demo.

    Yes, I would like that.
    I'm creating a page of my own, but would like to see what you have done for inspiration :)

    I really don't understand the Microsoft Dynamics Team thinking behind:
    If you have limited users, the few permissions they have is to fill an existing Timesheet (see MicrosoftDynamicsNAV20xxLicensingGuide.pdf)
    And the great idea behind is to give external users this licensing mode with this permission so they can enter they time directly in the system.
    And naturally they will do this using mobile client.
    And now what? they CAN'T perform this task using mobile phone?!?!!??
    What are they thinking about? Please provide fix for the timesheet functionality! MS should think deeper for this "module part". So people ner MS reading please help us to get a better solution.
    Thanks
