Creating Keys

Create new keys to bind to controls.

  1. On the Screen Design page, select the control to which you want to bind the new key.
  2. In General Properties, in the Input Data Binding section, click New key.
  3. In the Key dialog, enter:
    Property Description
    Name Enter a name for the key.
    Type Select the key type.
    Sent by server Select this checkbox to input data binding for the key.
    Input Data Binding
    MBO attribute Select to bind the key to a mobile business object (MBO) attribute:
    • Name
    • Convert to UTC
    MBO relationship Bind the key to an MBO relationship.
    MBO object query results Bind the key to MBO object query results.
    Hard coded value When the message is sent by the server to the client, rather than getting the value of the key from a source like an MBO attribute, it uses the fixed value you input.
    Note: The return of hard coded key values is supported from server-initiated starting points, only, not online requests.
    User defined Bind the key to user-defined data.
    Extraction rule This is determined by the extraction rules you set up.
  4. Click OK.
