The inherent drawback of mobile devices is the small viewing area. Configuration on the Mobile Options page, therefore, is concerned with selecting which fields you want to be viewed via the mobile device. When users view a FootPrints Issue on their mobile devices, they will see only the fields selected here for the Create/ Edit Issue page. However, users will be able to view all fields included on the FootPrints details page.
All field types (text fields, date/time fields, etc.) are available for the mobile device.
NOTE
Auto-assign does not work for the mobile interface. However, you can use Autofield as an alternative.
To configure mobile device options:
These fields display all of the fields that are present on a FootPrints Create/Edit or Details page. Highlight the fields that you want displayed on the mobile device for each page. For example, when displaying contact information, you might only want to display the contact's first and last name, phone number, and email address, and exclude such information as department, employee number, and job title.
Be sure to test your selections after you've made them. You'll want to see how everything looks on a mobile device before making this available to other users.
Administrators can restrict the fields viewed by users on their mobile devices, but some things work differently on mobile devices than they do in the full version of FootPrints.
Advanced Field Permissions do not fully apply to mobile devices. If a field is always hidden from a user in FootPrints, then it will be hidden in the mobile view. However, if a field is sometimes hidden and sometimes visible in FootPrints, then it will always be visible in the mobile view. In addition, if a field is writable in one status but not writable in another status in the FootPrints, it is always writable in the mobile view. Administrators should take these limitations into consideration when selecting fields for the mobile view.
Other restrictions are:
