Customizing Information Screen Elements
You can add elements that display on the information screen of your custom mobile process. On a mobile page, you can set up the elements for the data that you can retrieve from the page. The data appear on the information screen of each succeeding page within the process flow.
For example, the standard Enter PO and Enter Item mobile pages of the PO receiving process each have elements for the information screen. Information screen elements on the Enter PO page retrieve the purchase order details. These details appear on the information screen of the Enter Item page, which in turn retrieves the item details. The information screen on the Enter Quantity page displays all the details from the previous two pages.
Data from the mobile page are stored in the state, which makes them available for the screen. You can retrieve stored data from the keys in either of the following state paths:
-
state:dataRecord:scriptParams
Example: state:dataRecord:scriptParams:vendorName
The vendorName key contains the name of the vendor associated with the selected purchase order.
-
state:dataRecord:auxParams
Example: state:dataRecord:auxParams:poReceiving_scanEnterLot_Txt
The poReceiving_scanEnterLot_Txt key contains the lot number of the received item.
For more information about mobile states, see Working with Mobile States as Data Source.
Aside from specifying the data source, you can also customize the layout and display order on the mobile page. When adding elements to an information screen, note the following customization guidelines:
-
For the Inline layout, you can show up to two elements per line or row.
-
A single element that appears on a line occupies the entire width.
-
An image appears as a thumbnail. When you tap it on the information screen, it appears in full on a popup window
Before you can display an image, you must set it up on the item record in the Item Display Image and Item Display Thumbnail fields. For requirements and more information, see SCM Mobile Setup and Using Images in your Web Store.
-
The ability to display or hide the information screen on a mobile page is not supported. Custom mobile processes follow the predefined display and hide information screen settings of standard processes.
For more information about element layout and display settings, see Arranging Page Elements.
