So I got the web site running, there are requests there… how do I get them on my phone?

The author needed an app on their phone to see active requests, new comments, and receive notifications. They created a Canvas App that provides this functionality and more. The app is available in the ITA Web Starter solution. Push notifications were not used because they cannot be used to take specific actions in the app when a user clicks on the push notification. Instead, a new ITA Queue Item table was added to the solution to track "queue items" and a separate screen in the canvas app allows the user to see those items and navigate to the related request. The author reflects on the time savings vs extra time spent trying to figure out what works and what does not.
