Creating and modifying fields in mobile apps

To develop a Maximo Anywhere mobile app, you can add fields to the mobile apps, rename fields and views, and also add values list to fields.

Changing field labels
The labels for fields in the mobile apps are defined in the app.xml file. You can change any of the labels to match your implementation of Maximo Anywhere.
Rearranging fields in a mobile app
The order of how fields appear in a mobile container view is defined in the app.xml file. You can change the position of the fields for users to enter the information in an order that suits business requirements.
Adding fields to mobile apps
The fields that you add to mobile apps are defined by OSLC Resource Description Framework (RDF) files. When you add fields to mobile apps, you specify the OSLC resource for the field as a resource attribute in the application definition file.
Adding values lists as lookups to fields
Some fields in a mobile app have value lists, or domains, from which users can select a value. You add a value list as a lookup in a field in the app.xmlfile.
Adding related records to mobile apps
Objects that you can add as related records to mobile apps are defined by OSLC Resource Description Framework (RDF) files. In Maximo® Asset Management, you can add a related object to an OSLC resource and use the metadata for the object as a related record in a Maximo Anywhere app.
