Change Fields that Display on a Mobile Form

Editable fields displayed on some mobile forms can be displayed or hidden based upon values stored in an application parameter in the afm_activity_params table. A param_value containing a semi-colon delimited list of visible field names is transferred to the mobile device during synchronization. By storing the list of visible fields in an application parameter, the list can easily be altered by the Mobile Apps Manager without having to edit the app.

Example

The Asset & Equipment Survey mobile app stores a list of visible fields in the AbAssetManagement-EquipmentFieldsToSurvey application parameter. The Web Central view System Administration > Mobile Apps Manager > Manage Asset & Equipment Surveys includes a "Change Fields to Survey" action, which the user can run to change the active fields. This process edits the application parameter.

  1. Navigate to System Administration > Mobile Apps Manager > Manage Asset & Equipment Surveys
  2. Click on the Change Fields to Survey action.
  3. Select fields to be made visible and click OK to save.
