Creating a Submit Menu Item

Create a "submit" menu item.

The submit menu item of the first screen in a mobile workflow form must be associated with a mobile business object operation or an object query.

If the user has multiple screens open at the time of the submit execution, and one of the underlying screens fails validation, the user is prompted with the configured warning message and the submit process stops.

  1. From the palette on the Screen Design page, click Menuitem, then click the Menu box.
  2. Select the menu item to configure the properties in the Properties view.
  3. In the Properties view, configure the properties for the submit menu item:
    Property Description
    Name Enter a valid name for the menu item.
    Key Select the key with which to bind the submit menu item.
    Default Select to display the menu item prominently on the screen.
    Type Select Submit from the drop-down list.
  4. If the menu item is an operation associated with a mobile business object, you can configure these properties in Details:
    Property Description
    Mobile business object The mobile business object with which the menu item is associated. Click Search to locate the mobile business object with which to associate the menu item.
    Invoke parent update No changes are made to the parent MBO, but the appropriate operations (create, update, delete) are performed on its descendants.
    Invoke operation Invoke the selected mobile business object operation with which the menu item is associated.

    Select the operation from the drop-down list. The list is populated when you select the mobile business object.

    Invoke object query Invoke the object query from the menu item.
    Note: The menu item must be the Submit type menu item and the communication style must be synchronous.
    Configure these properties in Advanced:
    Property Description
    Flow-specific username key User name with which to connect when invoking this operation.
