Use the controls on the palette to design the screen for the mobile workflow application.
Controls are objects that users can interact with to view, enter, or manipulate data. The set of supported controls depends on the target device platform.
| Control | Description | Supported Platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Menu item | Use to provide additional options for the top-level menu on the screen. | |
| Checkbox | Displays a true/false (or yes/no) option on the screen. |
|
| Editbox | Select the logical type for the edit box, then enter text and assign values to strings, dates, decimals, integers, and so on. |
|
| Choice | Display a collection of items on the screen as a drop-down list from which the user can choose. |
|
| Slider | Represent numeric values within a range. |
Note: When the Optimize for performance option is set in preferences, the Slider control is supported only on BlackBerry.
|
| Signature | Add a signature box to the screen. The value is a list of points that, combined, make up the signature that gets or is drawn to the control, for example, -1x-1,5x7,5x8,-1x-1, where -1x-1 is interpreted as an interruption of a line drawn to the screen. |
Note: When the Optimize for Performance option is set in preferences, the Signature control is not
supported.
|
| HtmlView |
Allows text with HTML markup to display on the screen. |
|
| ListView | Displays lines that can be clicked on to show further details of the selected line. This facilitates the navigation for a one-to-many mobile business object relationship. For example, the listview could contain the items of a sales order. When a line in the sales order is clicked on, a details screen for that sales order appears. |
Note: You can have only one Listview control per screen in the mobile workflow.
|
| AttachmentViewer | Allows the user to download and view attachments on the device. A file viewer must be available on the device for the associated file type, for example, .pdf, doc., xls, and so on. |
