Home Screen - Not Logged In
When the user first installs the app and opens it, they'll see the guest view of the Portal news feed, as well as a call to action to sign in. The only options the user has at this point are to sign in, or browse/read news articles.
Home Screen - Logged In
When a user is logged in, the top bar changes to include links to "Search" and "Settings" Windows. Additionally, the home screen changes to display a collection of icons representing links to various activities inside the app. Some activities will be run natively (using data from a remote web service), but some activities will be presented to the user in embedded WebViews of HTML/Javascript from the server. The goal is to make interactions with the native app and webviews seamless to the user so the application will fill like one cohesive experience.

Map Window
The Map accounts for the following broad use cases:
...
- See interactive points on map
- Get directions to any location
- Zoom In/Out, change between provided views
- Toggle Map/Satellite/Both
- Center Map to my location
- Search Campus Map
- Show/Filter points of interest (recreation, dorms, admin-manageable points)
- User can navigate to the map settings section of the Application Settings Window to select which campus(es) will be included in map view and results.
Directory Window
The directory will utilize the uPortal JSON API for searching for people or places in the University Directory. The first screen will allow the user to search the directory, searching any of the available fields, to click a button to call the phone directory, or directly call one of the listed emergency numbers.
When a user commits a search, the view gets replaced with a scrollable view of contacts that match their search. Each search request will make an HTTP request to the uPortal API to get results, which will always be limited at 25 results to prevent list scraping.
When a user selects a Contact from the search result list, a contact detail view is displayed. .jpg?version=1&modificationDate=1300206359670&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)
