Chapter 5: Creating a Multipage Mobile Application with Transaction Support

Creating a link between the applications

This section shows how to link the update application (updateOrder) you created in “Creating an update application” with the customer order application (customerOrder) you created in “Creating a customer list”.

This link enables you to update or edit some of the values in the customerOrder list when it is deployed to a mobile device. In this case, the Quantity variable was set to “update” in updateOrder, so the Quantity column can be updated.

Select customerOrder in the detail pane, and click the Edit button.
In Application Builder, click Properties. The Properties Editor displays.
