The Mobile Log tab appears for asset classes and shells that have been designated for use with mobile/handheld devices (see For the Asset Manager and For the Shell Manager).
Use the Mobile Log tab to designate what fields from the attribute form should appear on the log that will be displayed on mobile devices. Due to space constraints, the log on a mobile device typically shows fewer fields than the log on a workstation monitor.
On this tab, you can designate the fields for the log, the sort order, and also any search criteria that might be valuable to the mobile user in locating records.
Note:
If you are abbreviating a form layout for a mobile device:
- You must include at least one field from the attribute form.
- If you include any field that is part of a dynamic data set, then you must include all the fields in the set.
To select log fields for a mobile device layout
- Under Mobile Log Layout, click Add. The Column Header Properties window opens.
- Use the information in the table below to complete the log layout.
- To add another column to the layout, repeat step 2.

After you add column(s), they will appear as rows on the Design window. You can move the columns left or right to create the order you want. To move columns, select the row of the column you want to move and click the Move Up button to move the column left, or the Move Down button to move the column right.
In this field: | Do this: |
|---|---|
Data Element Label | Choose the field you want on the log. The list shows only those data elements that were on the attribute form. If you do not see the data element you want, go back to the form and add it. When you choose an element, uDesigner displays the name of the element in the Data Element Name field and also displays the element label in the Column Heading field. (You can change the column heading to a heading you prefer.) |
Max Chars | Enter the number of characters the field label should show. Any characters over this limit will be indicated on the mobile log with ellipses (...). |
Width | Enter the width of the field as a percentage of the form width. |
