What systems and platforms is the Workflow app compatible with?

Platforms: iPhone and iPad running iOS 8 and later
Systems: Dynamics AX 2012 RTM, R2 FP, and R3

Is the app available for Android?

No, due to the high security standards AX Workflow was developed with there is currently no compatible security protocol available for Android. However, this is in the road-map for future development.

How does the app work?

AX Workflow is comprised of three core pieces of technology:
x++ code and use of Microsoft’s Application Integration Framework (AIF)
A middle-tier communications foundation that uses Azure Service Bus Relays
The front end mobile client – the AXAdmin App on your phone!

How does AX Workflow’s security work?

AX Workflow manages security on a few different levels:
Device: iOS devices come outfit with a number of security features, like Touch ID, that AX Workflow is compatible with.

Log-in Process: AX Workflow uses Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). ADFS works with an organization’s instance of Active Directory Domain Services to authenticate users of the mobile phone application. Users are authenticated based on credentials that are sent by the mobile phone application. Upon successful authentication, ADFS returns a token to the mobile phone application.

Azure: Using the Azure cloud and Service Bus Relays ensures your Dynamics AX is never exposed externally.

AX User Rights: Through the use of ADFS only certified AX users can log-in. Once inside the App, Users have the same rights as they do in AX, meaning they cannot access functionality that they would not typically have contact with in a desktop version of AX.
