Chapter 11: Deploying Mobile Applications

Inserting multi-level records on your PDA.

As described in “Inserting multi-level records”, you can insert multi-level records on your PDA as well. The user interface for inserting multi-level records on a PDA device is slightly different.

Figure 11-4 shows the same Accounts application that has an insert new application linked to it. In this example, the linked application is called “InsertAcct.” There is a new button at the bottom of the grid, and next to that is a drop-down box of the insert new application name. You can assign multiple insert applications to the first level.

Figure 11-4: New menu option

When you add a new record, a row appears at the bottom of the table as shown in Figure 11-5.

Click Submit.

Figure 11-6 shows the first level insert new form screen.

Figure 11-6: New form

From the table, you can delete existing records by clicking on the X icon. You can also edit a record by clicking on the pencil icon next to the record. When you click on the pencil, the form fields populate the saved record information and the Add button changes to a Save button.

If there is a second level insert new, a new button appears and there is a drop-down to the right of the Add button.

To add a second level record based off of a first level record:

  1. Click in the checkbox of a record.

  2. Select an insert application name from the drop-down list.

  3. Click New.

The second level insert new form screen looks like the first level insert new form screen, except it shows breadcrumbs at the top so you can see what level you are on. You can go back one level by clicking on the Back button, you can use the trail links to go back to the first level.
