Add a Screen to the Acumatica Mobile App

Posted on: December 20, 2019 | By: Minela Covic | Acumatica

Acumatica comes with a fully functional mobile app out of the box. Users can view records and enter new transactions on the go, promoting timely and accurate updates to everyday business activities. To add another screen to the app, follow the steps below.

  1. Identify the screen and fields you want to add:
    • The screen ID can be found in the URL of the Acumatica page
    • To get the field names of the screen, select tools -> web service -> service description. This will bring up the WSDL schema

 

Identify the fields you need within their respective containers in the WSDL schema:

  1. Create a new customization project and add a new screen to mobile application. When prompted, enter the screen ID that you identified earlier.

  1. Write the code for the new mobile screen. Here’s an example of a simple code you can write:

  • It’s a good idea to add save and cancel actions so that when you make changes to a record in the app, they are saved into Acumatica.

 

  1. Next, update the main menu to add a menu option for the screen you just added:
