Mobile Home Page Configuration

This form is used, primarily by system administrators, to customize the list of mobile forms for each user. When administrators open this form, they see both the system defaults and any customized menu items. When standard users open this form, only their own menu items display. Changing the display sequence of these items affects all users who use the selected role. Administrators can also create a unique layout for a specific user, by adding a new record. This lets you specify a user, as well as use menu items from all user roles.

System administrators can use the Mobile Home Page Configuration form to view the options that display on each default mobile home page (IT, Production Supervisor, etc.). They can change the labels and add or remove icons, and they can change the order of the default options on the default pages. System administrators can also create customized mobile home pages for specific users.

Additional customization of mobile forms can be done in Design mode. For example, you can change the mobile toolbars and set options for displaying charts. For more information, see the online help.

System administrators can give other users permission to access the Mobile Home Page Configuration form. Non-system administrator users who access that form will, by default, see no entries. If a system administrator created a customized set of options with the user's name, the user can see those options and change the sequence or description of the options. The user can also add an option to link to a custom mobile form.

Note: Only administrators can delete menu items and add or remove icons.

When creating new records, consider the relationship between the User and Mobile Home Page fields:

Mobile Home Page field	User field	Result
Blank	Populated	Only the specified user will be able to access this mobile form.
Populated	Blank	All users will see this form when they log into the specified home page.
Populated	Populated	Only the specified user will be able to access this mobile form, and the mobile home page entry is ignored.
Blank	Blank	No users will be able to access this form. Avoid this combination.
