Use the included examples to create a data item that allows users to open an incident list filtered by priority. The parameter created in the example is for priority. .

手順

1. Navigate to All > System Mobile > Mobile App Builder.
   The Mobile App Builder opens in a new browser tab and displays the application scope selection screen.
2. Search for the application scope you are working in and then select the name of the application scope.
   The Mobile App Builder categories home screen displays.
3. Select the Data category from the menu, and then select New.
4. From the Create a data item dialog box, select the type of data item you want to create, and then select Continue.
   Both the standard and relationship data items can include parameters.
5. Complete the Properties and Data sections as needed.

   For more information about creating a data item, see Configure a standard data item. For example, create a data item for open incidents.

   注:

   To configure the Condition section you must first complete and save the parameter configuration.
6. In the Parameters section, select New.
7. In the Data Parameter screen, in the Name field, enter a name for the parameter.
   Parameter names correlate most often with fields on a form. For example, type Priority as the parameter name when the field refers to priority.
8. From the Type field, select the data type of the parameter.
   The type determines how the user interacts with the mobile UI. For example, a type of Decimal or Integer tells the mobile device to open a numbers-only keypad. Select from the following types:
   • Integer: Opens a numbers-only keypad
   • String: Uses a full keyboard for input. Use the String type for list parameters, such as priority or state, or for reference fields, such as assigned to or caller.
   • Decimal: Opens a numbers-only keypad
   • Boolean: Opens a true or false selection option
   • DateTime: Opens a calendar with an exact time selector
   • Date: Opens a calendar
9. Select Save.
10. In the Data item form, in the Condition section, add a query condition for your parameter.
    The condition field should match the parameter for which you are querying the database. For example, if you are creating a data item to query the Priority field, create a condition for Priority is {{priority}}. Make sure that you select the parameter that you created by selecting the search icon ( ) in the condition builder.
