Mobile application manifest

General provisions

The mobile application manifest describes the structure of the mobile app, its objects and connections between them. The base version of the bpm'online mobile app is described in the manifest located in the MobileApplicationManifestDefaultWorkspace schema of the Mobile package.

In the process of the mobile app development, the users can add new sections and pages. All of them must be registered in the manifest for the application to be able to work with a new functionality. Since third-party developers have no ability to make changes to the manifest of the base app, the system automatically creates a new updated manifest each time a new section or page is added from the mobile application wizard. The manifest schema name is generated according to the following mask: MobileApplicationManifest[Workplace name]. For example, if the [Field sales] workplace is added to the mobile app, the system generates a new manifest schema with the name MobileApplicationManifestFieldForceWorkspace.

Mobile application manifest structure

The mobile application manifest is a configuration object whose properties describe the structure of the mobile app. Table 1 contains names and descriptions of the mobile application manifest.

• Application interface properties contain properties that implement the mobile app interface. By using the properties in this group, the application sections and main menu are shaped and custom images are configured. For more information about this group's properties please refer to the "Manifest. Application interface properties" article.
