Free mobile fields
Most of the app's content cannot be configured. However, you can configure some additional order fields to be displayed on the general information screen or the additional information screen.
Note |  Some Free mobile fields require that corresponding free fields are first configured on the Orders business object in the Field definer TSI. This must be done for the relevant field types (for example picklist, URL, reference etc.). Example: if you want to configure Free mobile URL fields, a free string field of Orders must first be set to In use in Field definer and configured as a URL field type. Then the field will become available in the pop-up of the URL fields [1-5] in > . See the Field definer user documentation for more information on configuring free fields. |
The following free mobile field types are supported:
Drop-down list field 1 - 5 [PICKLIST_FIELD1 -5] | Five free fields are available that can be configured as a Code/Descriptive picklist on the order. | ||
Display value | For each picklist field you can select which display value should be used to be shown on the device. Code: only the code of the picklist is shown Name: only the name of the picklist is shown Code+name: both code and name of the picklist are shown | ||
Date-time field 1 - 2 [DATETIME_FIELD1-2] | System date-time fields and free date-time fields are allowed here. Using a free field that is converted to a date-time field will not work. | ||
Text field 1 - 5 [TEXT_FIELD1-5] | String or Freestring fields are allowed. So if the Freestring is configured as a reference field this will not work. | ||
Boolean field 1 - 3 [BOOLEAN_FIELD1-3] | Select a Boolean field to be displayed on the general / additional information screen. | ||
Reference field 1 - 5 [REFERENCE_FIELD1-5] | You can use the following types of reference fields: Fixed reference field (e.g. InventoryItemRef) FreeInteger field that is used as a reference field. Known issue: there are more fields listed than actually allowed, so make sure you pick a field that meets the criteria mentioned above. | ||
Referred BO field name | For the selected business object, enter the name of the field that you want to have displayed. Only the names of text fields (type String or Freestring) are allowed as display value. | ||
