   1. In the Mobile -Applications List, click View next to the mobile app.

   2. In the Mobile -Process List, click Configure next to the standard mobile process.

   3. On the Mobile Configuration page, in the Page field, select the mobile page.

3. On the Page Element subtab, in the Mobile Page Element field, select the table element.

5. You can update basic table and column settings, such as the label, display order, and row size.

   For more information about basic element settings, see Customizing Mobile Page Elements.

6. In the following fields, you can enable additional settings that suit your table requirements:

   • Toggle State – Select the default state of the toggle, which shows and hides the table automatically during the initial page load. Hiding a table by default enables pages to display other elements and their data without waiting for the entire table to load.

   • Retain Column Filters – Check this box if you want to keep your current table filters applied throughout an active session. It persists your column filters even when you navigate to another page within the mobile process.

     For more information, see SCM Mobile Page Elements (Buttons, Fields, Tables) or Filtering Table Data Through Search Tags.

   • Cache Table Data on Back Navigation – Check this box if you want to cache table data whenever you navigate back to a previous mobile page.

7. You can set up the following custom actions to replace the default ones for the table:

   Note:

   You can set up actions that perform specific tasks for rows or standard columns. When you create actions for data submission or page navigation, be sure that it does not break the existing process flow.

   • To copy a standard mobile action, in the Standard Action field, select the action and then click Clone.

     Before you clone an action, you can view its record first to review the settings and parameters. To open a record, copy the name from the Standard Action field and then paste it into the global search field.

     Alternatively, to create a custom action, beside a Custom Action field, click the plus icon.

   • For row clicks, in the On Row Click Custom Action field , enter a custom mobile action that you have created for row clicks on this table.

   • For column clicks on standard columns, on the Table Columns subtab, select a column. In the On Click Custom Action or After Column Click Action RESTlet field, enter a custom mobile action that you have created for this column.

   For more information about mobile actions, see Customizing Mobile Actions.

8. For Data Table elements, to configure autosubmission of data from standard columns, do any of the following:

   • To autosubmit data from a standard column that has an on click action by default, in the Apply Autosubmit To field, select the key for the column.

   • To autosubmit data from a standard column that does not have a click action by default, click the Table Columns subtab. In the On Click Custom Action field, assign the mobile action you want to apply to the column, as described in step 6. Then, in the Apply Autosubmit To field, select the key for the standard column.

   • To autosubmit data from an entire row, in the Apply Autosubmit To field, select Row Click. Optionally, in the On Row Click Custom Action field, you can enter your own mobile action. It may perform additional tasks or include conditions that are automatically triggered during the row click.

     Note:

     To include column data in autosubmission of a row, be sure that you do not set the Visibility Condition field to false. If you set a dynamic value in this field, column data is autosubmitted only when the condition evaluates to true.

   Based on your selection, the app autosubmits the data from the column of the first row or the entire first row. For entire rows, the app includes data from columns that you do not show on the table through the Visible Columns options.

   For information about autosubmission for other elements, see Setting Up Autoclick for Buttons or Assigning Default Values to Field Elements.

    For instructions, see Multiple Row Selection for Transfer Tables.

13. On the Row Colors subtab, to set up colors for highlighting rows, see Setting Up Table Row Colors.
