Use Case

  • Adding sublists in your eXtendMobile functions.
  • Entry of sublist details.

Summary

eXtendMobile allows you to add a sublist to the functions that add, update, or delete sublist data on a record. Currently, only one sublist can be added per function, and sublists can be added in create, update, view, and transform functions.

This article will guide you on adding a sublist to a form and specifying its properties.

Adding Sublist to Form

When adding fields on your function's form, you will come across fields with an icon similar to the below:

This icon indicates whether the field is a sublist or not.

For example, if you want to add an address book sublist to a customer function, then…

  1. Tap the field name Addressbook.

  2. After the sublist has been added, it will appear as shown below:

  3. To add fields to the sublist, tap the sublist card.

  4. To add fields to the sublist, use the add (+) button, which functions similarly to adding form fields.

  5. After adding the desired fields, tap Save to save your configuration.

Sublist Details

Similar to field details, sublists also have their own detailed configurations.

To view all the available options of the sublist, swipe the sublist tile to the right.

    3. Details
      This option will show the details of the sublist field. This will open a new page and show the field ID, field label, and field search ID for the sublist. You can update the field label and field search ID among these options as per your requirements.
