Settings/Data Grid Config

Data grid configuration is controlling 3 things:

  1. The columns displayed in any browse window in Mobile Action
  2. The sort order of these columns (Note Mobile Action will sort as per standard API and then this sorting will be on top of this for the lines retrieved so if a max lines is set on the API transaction to retrieve only those liens will be sorted in this secondary sorting. The key to good performance is to only look at data where it selects a few lines.
  3. Some functions also got configurable detailed panels where detailed output fields can be sorted in any order and made available e to view or not.

Each function that got a grid or a detailed panel that is configurable will be set up here

This configures the order of the column.
All colums 99 then they all show
if any is <99 then they show in that order
To change: edit position press enter and save using save button. Save on each tab
0 sorting is assumed not sorting on that field at all

Higher number means lower sort priority (apart from 0) 

Default to ASC order DOUBLE TAP to swap to  DESC order

Sorting Tip: Only default sort by one field and configure that field to be the first column in the view - that make it easier to understand. Secondly a user can tap on any non presorted column in the application and it will sort on that field BUT it cannot tap on an already pre sorted column to sort on that column only. Best to keep this simple

This means the newest stock shows at the top (maybe not a good example) to manually change
tap on any column to sort on that:



To configure detailed screen:

Note there is nothing special to indicate that this is not a browse view:

So we will indicate this in each functions instructions:


Note: In this case the SORTING does not make sense.

The fields are represented in the order of the configuration on the detailed screen
