Record screen input field types

Familiarize yourself with different field types and their usage in the Mobile App Builder record screen.

When either creating a new record or editing an existing record, you are presented with field types specific to the record you selected. You cannot add additional field types. This restriction ensures that you only work with field types relevant to the open record. The following are all the available record screen input type fields.
