Layouts

Page Layouts

Page layouts control the following for pages/tabs in FX Mobile:

  • Organization of fields, buttons, related lists, and links

  • Field visibility (hidden, read-only, or editable)

  • Required fields

Each object has a default page layout.

You can also add or edit the FX Header section that can appear on the Ticket Item Grid or the Quote Item Grid.

Page Layout Assignments

Page layout assignments control the page layouts that display for each user profile. They also give you the ability to display a different page layout for each record type.

Configure FX Header for the Ticket Object

As a system admin, you can configure the FX Header section of a ticket to show key information about the ticket. Typically this could include the ticket number, job status, customer details, and other high-level information. The FX Header is an overview providing a snapshot of essential job information. Using the FX Header can make it easier for users to reference and navigate the ticket’s main details. It can be static, remaining visible as users scroll through the ticket.

  1. In the Back Office setup for your org, type object in the Quick Find search bar.

  2. Select Object Manager.

  3. Find the Ticket object and open it.

  4. Select Page Layouts.

  5. Select the name of the page layout.

  6. In the top portion, select the Fields category.

    Fields that are grayed out can’t be added to the FX Header section. Solid fields can be added.

  7. Click and hold on the desired field and drag it down to the FX Header section.

    As you drag it down, the section area turns green and a thick line appears above or below the existing fields, indicating where you can add the field.

  8. Release the mouse when the field is at the desired location.

  9. When finished adding fields to the FX Header section, click Save.

    The mobile user will need to log out and back into the FieldFX Mobile App then open a ticket. The changes made appear in the Ticket layout.
