Associate a function with a location in the app

Field functions enable your end users to change the value of a field. Field functions only apply to items on the details screen in a displayed area.

1. In Mobile App Builder, open a details screen that you want to add a field function to. Make sure that there are screen fields in your details screen that you can add field functions to, and a Table selected.
2. For each screen field on your details screen, you can add a field function under Field function instances field. You can't reuse previous function instance records.
3. In the Display label field of the new Function instance record, add the name of the function to display.
4. Select Save.

You can display three functions per direction.

4. Select Trailing swipe function instances for users to initiate swipe functions dragging to the right from the edge of a card.
