What Are Differences Between the Desktop Client Portal and the Mobile App?

The mobile app makes announcements available to your clients anywhere, on any device. Because it is a mobile platform, however, you may notice some slight differences in the desktop client portal and in the mobile app.

The primary difference is that hyperlinks do not open in mobile applications. For example, while you can include hyperlinks in announcements in the desktop portal, the mobile app does not support linking. Additionally, hyperlinks that appear for tickers are not supported in the mobile applications.
