One of our customer reported that couple of Business Rules are not working in Mobile app which are working perfectly in Web application. Spent so much time to understand the problem with Mobile app and finally figured out that one tab on the contact form is not loaded in mobile app because of maximum 5 tabs allowed limitations. Some fields that we are referring in the business rules are part of this missing tab. So, business rule trying to lock (unlock, mandatory, setvalue etc.,) the field which is not loaded on the form and failing. Finally we decided to create a new form by considering the limitations with mobile app and the business rules that we implemented.
Below are the limitations of Forms in mobile app
- You shouldn’t have more than 75 fields on the Form
- You shouldn’t have more than 5 tabs on the Form
- You shouldn’t have more than 10 sub grids on the From
I think the above numbers we can adjust with some settings but these are defined by Microsoft for optimal performance. The components that are exceeding the above numbers will not be shown on mobile app.
Hope it helps !!!
