Mobile Document Access (For Councillors and Staff) Using WebDAV
Overview • All Councillors have Apple iPads (and iPhones) • Council documents are distributed to Councillors electronically using WebDAV. • Councillors download documents using Readdledocs and/or iAnnotate • Both apps store local versions of the docs on the iPad • It’s reliable, easy, quick and the accepted way
What is WebDAV? • Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning • Many modern operating systems provide built in support for WebDAV • WebDAV gives you a private cloud with full Windows security • Many iPad applications support WebDAV
iPad WebDAV Applications • WebDAV Nav+ • iStorage • My WebDAV • OverTheAir • And more… • Readdledocs • iAnnotate • GoodReader • Pages • Numbers • Keynote
Security • Each iPad user must have a domain login • In the iPad app, the external URL and domain login is required • Back at the office… • on the network share, create user folders and add authorised users • drag and drop content into the user-folders • Apps behave differently. Some hide, others grey-out, unauthorised users
Internal use • We make a network share available to all staff, mapped to “T” for Temp • Every Friday content older than 1 week in T is deleted • We map “T” to a WebDAV login that staff can use to access content on iDevices T drive Readdledocs on an iPad
Known Issues • The Windows built-in WebDAV client is problematic • No Business Continuity
