Test profile
To get going quickly, you can use the Jailroot demonstration.

Switch perspective

Plugin Perspective
PluginPerspective permits to display content based on the reader's current perspective

Mobile
Mobile mode is essentially a perspective. If you want some modules to appear or not to appear in your mobile perspective, find out what your mobile perspective ID is (tiki-edit_perspective.php) and configure Modules accordingly. For example, If you wish to hide your login box in mobile version(mobile perspective) of your website, then simply go to Admin>Modules>login_box>visibility>perspective> Enter value "0" and click assign.
By doing so your login box would be visible only to your original website and invisible to your mobile perspective. This method can be used to simplify your mobile version.
Note: "0" is default perpective for tiki website while "1" or "2" etc are for your mobile perspective or other custom made perspectives.
Generally speaking I promised to extend the perspectives related documentation since a while.
Still I am too busy with private stuff and not completely up to date with all knowledge about perspectives, workspaces etc.
For that we do not forget things and that other users can anyway benefit from the help that was given to me, I just summarize my points where I think we are right now. I do that a bit quick and dirty and will do a wrap up later on. applies to a perspective and is kind of a preference limits search results and listings to content wich categories are applied to a category jail in a perspective categories IDs are typed in as numbers, seperated by semicolons search results just give the typed in perspectives all content can be seen in all perspectives at this point, if appropriate rights

Tip:
For a start, I just name the perspectives and categories the same way and set them up in the same order.
So the first some same named categories and perspectives have the same Ids, what eases work especially for a beginner with that.
At some point, thats not working out any more, but then it woulkd be still possible to remind the IDs to the names.
Names of perspectives and categories should apply either to the content or to the use case of the perspective or to both, if possible That eases life aswell.
perspectives plus categories -> workspaces: with perspectives and categories and some kind of smart structuring you can +create kind of "logical areas" in between the Tiki website.
that means you can create spaces for workgroups, usergroups, subwebsites, etc.
perspectives and categories are the features with that you can create workspaces, thus a workspace is more a logical area of the site and not a feature by itself. multidomain using for ex. subdomains for workspaces, not only the categories can be jailed in respect of search results and listing, but further more the hole content of different perspectives can be kept apart from each other independantly.
swith perspective and stay at content recently a nice feature was added by Louis-Philippe: at the perspectives module, there is a tic box now, where you can set eather switching the perspective staying in the existing content, for ex. to just get different modules or to switch to the new perspectiveshome page.
go to a specific page in a specific perspective once you type the adress http://foo.bar/PageName, you will be sent to PageName in the default perspective.
using perspectives for navigation purposes you would need a number of subdomains, if you´d like users be able to copy and paste links to appropriate content/perspective combinations using additional ?perspectiveId=X in the context: http://foo.bar/PageName?perspectiveId=X you will be linked to PageName in Perspective X (thank LPH for mentioning that) a shortener like http://foo.bar/PageName?PId=X is requested.
next focus next to learn would be how to use Datachannels on the one hand -to setup automatically a set of a number of perspectives / categories / workspaces / project management tools with preset configuration and organic group including leadership and demoting / promoting etc.
