   The Mobile App Builder categories home screen displays.
3. Select Functions from the menu.
4. Either select New or an existing record.

   The Offline settings area displays further down the page.
6. Select the Choose button on any of the following fields to determine which fields and functions are available to users when working in offline mode.

   Table 1. Offline properties fields of the action function form

   Field	Description
   Hide fields	Use this field to determine which fields are not available after the user performs an action in offline mode. For example, after a user assigns a task to themselves, you could hide the Assigned to field.
   Show fields	Use this field to determine which fields are available after the user performs an action in offline mode. For example, after a user assigns a task to themselves, you could show the Work notes field.
   Hide functions	Use this field to determine which functions are not available after the user performs an action in offline mode. For example, after a user taps the Start Work function in offline mode that action function is hidden. Use the Select target record field to select the functions you want to hide.
   Show functions	Use this field to determine which functions are available after the user performs an action in offline mode. For example, after a user taps the Start Work function in offline mode, the Close Incomplete function displays instead. Use the Select target record field to select the functions you want to show.
   Disable after online edit	Use this field to define sections to gray out when a user performs an action. In offline mode, an indicator appears next to a record after a user makes a change. Setting a screen marked as "Disable after online edit" mimics the online behavior, where a record is grayed out in the list after a user makes a change. Use the Select target record field to select the screens that you want to gray out. Figure 1. Online behavior in "Disable after online edit" mode
