Creating Object Query Input Parameters Using Content Assist

Create input parameters on the screen where the user can enter values that can be executed on the client database to fetch a record.

Prerequisites
The device application must reference a deployed mobile business object that has an object query with a parameter defined.
Task
  1. Drag and drop the mobile business object onto the Flow Design page to create the device application.
  2. Double-click the screen that references the mobile business object.
  3. In the Screen Design page, click the mobile business object icon.
    A list of options is displayed, which includes the option to create the object query inputs, as shown in this example, where the object query is performing a search on the first and last name of an employee:

    bob_object_query_creating

  4. Double-click the option to create the object query inputs.
    The object query inputs display on the device screen as shown in this example, where the input fields for fname (first name) and lname (last name) are added above the table, as well as a Submit button with the object query action assigned.


    bob_named_query_inputs

    After the user clicks Submit, results are returned and the table is refreshed with the results.

  5. Select File > Save.
