As has been pointed out before, sfPMS can be accessed from anywhere there is an Internet connection, both on computers and on mobile devices (which really are smaller computers). However, there are a few differences in terms of features if you are accessing Spitfire on your Windows desktop computer or if you are accessing Spitfire on Chrome on your mobile device.
- Integration with Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel) requires sfDash. sfDash is the sfPMS browser that downloads when you log in using Internet Explorer.
- You should use Chrome as your browser on mobile devices (tablet, smart phone).
- sfDash is not available for mobile devices.
The following chart spells out the differences in using Spitfire on different browsers/devices.
