Hi,
In the Developing BPM Applications with BPM Studio guide under Defining Workstep Presentation Format section, we have steps documented in order to define Mobile Type presentation format for a BPM workstep. The online documentation link for the same follows here http://documentation.progress.com/output/ua/OpenEdge_latest/index.html#page/bpm-studio-ug/defining-mobile-presentation.html#wwconnect_header
 
Once the work step is defined of Mobile type in a process, and deployed in the BP Server, and when the flow reaches the Mobile work step, user need to login to the url specified  from the mobile device  and the work step is available for the particular user logged into the Mobile device. From there, they can perform required operation on that workstep.
 
In addition to this, Once user defines BPM workstep of type Mobile, it can be interacted from ABL, using the ABL API.
Couple of methods exists where we can get list of PresentationTypes and PresentationUI for the BPM worksteps
 
METHOD PUBLIC character GetAvailablePresentationTypes ()

Member of Progress.BPM.Task

Summary:
Returns a comma separated string that contains the presentation types of a task or work item. The types are defined by the following constants:
·  JSP
·  WEBAPP
·  PRIVATE
·  GUI
·  MOBILE
·  TABLET
·  OTHERs

A task must contain at least one presentation type defined for the GetAvailablePresentationTypes()method to return a value.

 

METHOD PUBLIC character GetPresentationUI (p1 AS character)

Member of Progress.BPM.Task

Summary:
Returns the value or metadata associated with the specified presentation type. Returns a CHARACTER that contains the value of the presentation type. The value associated with a presentation type can be an URL or a file path.

Returns UNKNOWN if a specified presentation type has no metadata associated with it.

 

 
 
Hope this helps!!

Jawahar.
