Understanding Mobile Enterprise Application User Interfaces

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne mobile enterprise applications are developed using standards-based technology. This means that all of the applications share standard user interface elements and constructs. These elements behave in the same way through all of the EnterpriseOne mobile enterprise applications. This section discusses each of these user-interface elements in detail.

Oracle recommends that users review this section before using the applications.

Action buttons typically appear in either the top navigation bar or the bottom bar of the application. This button illustrates an example of an Apply action button.

Return To	Use the Return To button to return to the previous screen within the application flow. The text on this button changes, depending on the name of the screen to which you will be redirected. For example, if tapping this button returns the user to the Home screen, the button text is Home.

Tabs	Tabs are used within a detail screen to enable users to see different types of data related to the selected record. Tabs are typically organized horizontally near the top of the screen.

Note that in some cases, this button is used as a Find button. This typically occurs on the home screen of an application, where a user enters a value in the main header search field, and taps this button to find records that meet the search criteria.
QR Code	Use the QR code icon in the application to scan barcodes by your native device camera.
