Dashboard forms and push notification

If you're new to Mobilengine tutorials, welcome! Be sure to grab all the artifacts from Mobile form development parts 1 & 2, and the Workflow scripting tuts before you go on.

What you'll be learning:

  • How to set up rows in a reference table that only ever synchronize to selected users

  • How to make a change in a reference table trigger data synchronization on the devices that use the reference table

  • How to notify the user with a jingle that the reference data in the form has been updated.

  • How to set up a form that stays open, and updates automatically (aka dashboard form)

This is what your device screen will look like when you're done
