    Web to mobile streamlines the component creation process by enabling you to select an existing web component to serve as a template instead of building a new record screen from the ground up. Currently, web conversion supports generating a record screen with a details screen segment.

    Selecting a card

    Choose what card will serve as the template for your mobile record screen. You can choose from three different options and preview how each will look before confirming your selection.

    Use an existing card
    Select an existing card to use for your record. You can preview the card and make changes before confirming your selection.
    Use a generic card
    Start with a basic card template that has the essential components to get you started. You can preview the card and make changes before confirming your selection.
    Use Now Assist

    Use AI-powered Now Assist to create a card for your record screen. Now Assist uses semantic search to populate the card with the fields that best match your web component. You can preview the generated card and make changes before confirming your selection. If you want to see more options, you can ask Now Assist to regenerate the card with different fields.

    Records created using Now Assist have a sparkle icon (sparkle icon) next to their name to indicate they were generated using AI. Once the records have been edited and reviewed, the indicator disappears.

    Mobile component preview

    The web to mobile selection page presents a list of all available tables and web forms that can be used as templates. When selecting a web component to serve as the template, a preview of the new record is generated. You can freely switch between the existing card, generic card, and Now Assist generated card previews to compare them and see which option looks best. Selecting Looks good, continue generates the relevant records using the selected card.

    The generated records have an icon (icon for generated records) next to their name to indicate that they were automatically generated. Once the records have been edited and reviewed, the indicator disappears.
