The Configurator
Users can use the configurator to create or modify the user interface of mobile processes for the NAV Anywhere® Framework, and to design some behavior and navigation for the processes. You can find the configurator by selecting NAV Anywhere® Framework from the NAV Anywhere® menu of Dynamics NAV.
A process consists of activities. An activity translates to a screen on the mobile device. On the screen data, labels, and buttons are displayed. All these elements are configured as controls.
Parameters are used to store user input. Parameters can be defined on process level. This means that the value of the parameter is maintained as long as the process is running. They can also be defined on activity level. Then the parameter is initialized every time that activity is reached.
A button can call a connection and a post document processor. A connection links parameters to fields in Dynamics NAV tables. When a connection is executed, it writes and validates the parameter values to these fields. The post document processor is a special Codeunit. When a post document processor is called the Codeunit is executed.
The processes workflow is configured in the process flow.
Expressions are used in several places in the configuration. The purpose of expressions is to return a value, and therefore can serve different purposes like data validation or defining conditions.
