FieldFX 24R3

FieldFX Mobile App

Feature Description
& Impact

We are releasing a new FieldFX Mobile App that can run on Android, iOS, and Windows tablets. This app will replace the existing FieldFX Mobile (called FX Mobile) app

  • The new application works with Background Sync only and requires users to have a Sync Profile.

  • As an admin, grant access to your users to the required managed package objects and Apex classes.
