Configuring the Orders filter block (context filter)
The Mobile - Orders web definition's Start page includes a Filter block. With this block you can enable end users to filter their search results based on context. For example: with a filter on Property they can choose to only display the orders for the building in which they are working or filter on a different building.
The following procedure outlines the steps for the filter block's configuration.
 | For generic information about configuring PSS2-based blocks, see the Web configuration user documentation in the WebHelp. |
