Now Mobile- Catalog Items display

Hello Experts,

I'm trying to implement Now Mobile application and wanted to only display 4-5 catalog items in the Mobile Service Catalog.

The flag on the catalog item doesn't seem to work.

Did anyone happen to implement this feature?

Thanks in advance.

Below could be one of the way:

1 Create a new catalog entry in "sc_catalog" table for mobile eg."mobile service catalog". And associate the catalog items you want to show on mobile with this catalog.

2. Now go to "catalogs" under "mobile" in "application navigator". This contains all the catalogs available for mobile.

3. Mark these inactive and create a new entry for the catalog entry created in step1.

After this only catalog items associated with this catalog will be visible on mobile.

You may have to create category and associate your catalog items with some category.

Hi,


The behavior was reported in the PRB1373511 which was closed as "Working as Expected" with the following explanation:

"Desktop only option differentiates the item visibility from Classic mobile and Desktop, where Desktop includes Now Mobile app. The Availability options that apply for Classic Mobile app are:
Classic Mobile Only
Desktop and Classic Mobile.
It's working as expected"

This behavior has been described in the following article:

Maybe raise an idea request

I heard back from the HI support that we just cannot implement Catalog items of our own to appear in Now Mobile.

It is either all Catalog or none.

This can be done, but then you need to apply filters on the data item or functions setting the query to show catalog item or catalog item category

Would you mind sharing how you created Data item and applet launcher to implement this?
