User interface components

The user interface of Resco mobile apps is built from components like views, forms, dashboards, maps, calendars. An unlimited number can be created. The app’s logic can interact with any of the services like sending email, starting a phone call, scanning a barcode, recording audio, or acquiring GPS position.

Home screen

When the app starts, the first thing the user sees is the home screen with a menu. Each item of the menu can open an entity view, form, calendar, or dashboard.

View

Entity view displays a list of items, each representing a single record of an entity. The view filter determines which records are shown. Choosing which entity fields are displayed and in which design is determined by the row design. Tapping an item opens the default entity form.

Form

The purpose of entity form is to view and edit a single record. A form is a combination of cards or tabs.

• The primary tab type is the "detail". It is used to display related entity fields, for example, the address tab. The selection, position, and design of each field is configurable.
• Another important type is the "associated view". For example, on an account form, you can list its associated contacts.
