Page Creator

Available in Mobile WMS for Dynamics AX/365FO

Mobile WMS uses an application.cfg file to setup the behaviour on the mobile device. When you need to make configural changes to the app, you need to know more about what are the possibilities built-in. On top of that we have made it possible for you to actually make the changes from the AX/D365FO client. 

From the client you can find the page creator by navigating to: Mobile WMS/Setup/Customizations/Page Creator

Pages

The first tab menu you can create the new page. You have select the type of page you want. There are three types:

• Lookup
• Order list or Order lines
• Unplanned item registration

There types are key to the function you are going to need for the page. We have made some templates that can guide you to the correct choice of page. The templates can be found here:  ##GL##

On the page tab, you specify the filter if necessary. You can select between filters already in use or newly created filters from the "Dyna Filter" menu. Read more about it here: ##GL##

The icon on the page and the icon on the main menu is specified in two different ways. The icon on the pages itself is specified here. If you need to change the icon on the main menu, you can do that by navigating to Custom Menu Items from AX/FO or if you have a new class you want use on the mobile device you can also specify it here. 

You also define the icon of the page. The dropdown list of icons (ressource names) is based on the out of the box included icons, but you can also add your custom made icons.

On the next tab menu "Configuration", you have lots of the settings available to control the Mobile WMS app.

Your new XML page from within D365FO must be copied and pasted into the application.cfg on the mobile device. The page should be placed under the section called <pages>.

If you need it as a new page you also must create a new <menuitem> also located under <pages>.
