I'm unable to login with the default browser, but I was able to log in fine 
with the Firefox app (I'm using a Galaxy Note II running Android 4.3). The 
number of columns doesn't display well, but once I hid some of them it worked 
well. Sorting and selecting/unselecting work great, even copy and paste work 
well (and since it uses different visual cues than the desktop browser for 
displaying what you have selected to copy, it was easy to see the difference 
there). 

The only thing that caused me a problem while viewing on my phone was that the 
status bar at the bottom cut off the bottom 2 rows of my patron search results.

I agree with Rogan, the previous one was more attractive but this is more 
functional. I think the paging controls, the sorting, and the 
selecting/unselecting are all very intuitive. 

The only thing I see so far that will throw off users is that when I highlight 
a bit of text in preparation for copying it, the UI highlights the entire row 
and marks it selected - when I ctrl-c, it does copy just the text I 
highlighted, but the visual cues are confusing. 



Hmm, yeah, we may have to detect double-click and avoid row selection in that 
case. 



Should we be able to log in via mobile devices? Or is the certificate issue 
preventing this at the moment? 



Mobile login should work. I can't vouch for every device, but I am able to log 
in with my Nexus. 

Fair warning on the grids... To build these with the level of flexibility 
required (arbitrary column counts and column resizing being the big ones), we 
had to step outside of the Bootstrap mobile-friendly CSS and use something 
called flexbox (which is native to modern browsers) instead. This means the 
grids today are not very mobile friendly. However, flexbox is div-based and 
very *cough* flexible, so we have the option of applying mobile CSS 
specifically to the grid.
