Input form screen
Use input form screens to provide an interface for your users to enter information in mobile apps.
|
Input form screens display inputs to enable your users to enter information into mobile apps. Use input form screens to create or edit records, complete surveys, or any other situation where your users must enter information. Input form screens work in offline mode, so users don't need an internet connection to input information into the app. After you create an input form screen and define its inputs and variables, you must associate the input form screen with an action item. Then these inputs and variables must be mapped to the action item. You can control how users input data, as well as the appearance of input types. You can further customize your input form screens using Mobile UI Rules. |
