IMPORTANT • The ShareVault app is ONLY for ShareVault users with access to an active ShareVault subscription. You will not be able to use the ShareVault app unless you are an activated ShareVault user. DESCRIPTION • ShareVault for iPad provides all of the same capabilities as the ShareVault web application. • ShareVault for iPhone provides mobile browsing, searching and viewing of documents, as well as basic administrator features such as adding users and group. The iPhone app does not yet support ShareVault Q&A, and many of the administrator features are not available due to the reduced screen size. • Compatible with all versions of iPad and iPhone • Optimized for device screen size: On iPad, the application takes advantage of the device's larger screen size by including the full ShareVault functionality, including a split screen category pane and file list with thumbnails, for improved user experience. On iPhone, the app downgrades elegantly to fit the reduced screen size of smaller devices by eliminating the split screen display, thumbnails, Q&A and much of administrator functionality available on the iPad. • Full support of both portrait and landscape screen orientation - just rotate your device, and the display instantly adapts.
