The desktop layout
On a wide window Businessly opens out — a sidebar instead of tabs, lists beside detail, and dialogs instead of sheets.
The wide layout is triggered by window width, not by being on Windows. Make the window narrow and you get the phone layout back; a large Android tablet gets the wide one.
The sidebar
Instead of five tabs and a launcher button, everything is a row down the left:
Home · Customers · Cash · Bills · Expenses, then Products · Properties · Vehicle expenses · Easy load, and Settings at the bottom.
The six sections that share one button on a phone each get their own row. Nothing is hidden behind a menu.
Two panes
On the wider screens, picking something from a list opens it beside the list rather than replacing it:
| Screen | |
|---|---|
| Customers | The customer opens on the right |
| Products | The product opens for editing |
| Bills & rent | The bill or plan opens |
| Properties | The property hub opens |
| Settings | Sub-screens open in the pane |
Buttons move
The floating button disappears. Its action becomes a button in the bar at the top — New entry on Home, Add product on Products, Cash entry on the cash book, and so on.
Sheets become dialogs
Anything that slides up from the bottom on a phone opens as a centred dialog on a wide window — pickers, the New entry menu, export options, the business switcher.
Forms are a fixed comfortable width rather than stretching across the whole screen.
Keyboard
Your place is remembered
Whichever section you were in is still there when you reopen the app — and resizing the window between layouts never loses it either.
