Description

  • The entries are called "mobile documents" or "Requests".

  • Developers will use the Mobile Document Queue during the development of customizations

Combining the document queue with access to the mobile device (using MobiControl), you can troubleshoot many issues.

Download the XML

  • Select Document > Show Request XML

Example of Request XML 

Request is likely the most interesting for development. The request will give you an overview of which values their names.
E.g. this is a request for an Unplanned Function called "MyUnplanned with custom fields like "MyDate" and "MyText".
