Hi

Is there any improvement done to include the custom screens as the MOBILE_INITIAL_SCREEN in the recent FSM releases? If yes please let us know.

Below is the existing behavior of the MOBILE_INITIAL_SCREEN application parameter in FSM.

 

Scenario 01: When the baseline design revision is in use (i.e. always a baseline screen, without any customization will be set as the initial screen)

  • Valid values are Home and JobList. These work as expected and appears as the initial screen when the user logs in
  • Baseline WF screens (ex: DebriefLabor, ScheduleRequestContact) cannot be considered as valid, since they are connected to a Task or a Quote. In such cases, the Home screen appears by default as the initial screen
  • Non-WF baseline screens (ex: CustomerList, ReceivingList, TimeReporting) can be used and they appear as the initial screen when the user logs in. However, this cannot be considered as a reasonable value.

 

Scenario 02: Usage of custom screens (i.e. when a custom design revision is set as the default design for mobile)

  • Home, JobList screens work as expected and open with relevant customizations
  • Non-WF baseline screens with customizations, (ex: CustomerList, ReceivingList) can be used and they appear as the initial screen with relevant customizations. However, using such screens as the initial screen doesn’t make much sense
  • When a newly added custom screen is used, the app could fail to login. Thus, cannot be recommended to be used as the initial screen
