Adding Objects to the Main Menu


To configure additional objects to be included in the Axsy Mobile App's main menu, the necessary Record List plugin needs to be installed in your Salesforce Org. Once installed and enabled, configuration of additional objects lists is done via the Axsy Config Tool:

  1. Launch the Axsy Mobile app from the App Launcher on Salesforce.
  2. Select the Settings tab for the app to bring up the Axsy Config Tool.
  3. In the Config Tool, select the Plugins tab.
  4. Click New Version and Edit if you have not done so already.
  5. If the main-nav-record-list plugin is not listed in the left pane, click on the + Add Plugin to Org button where it will be available to install, go ahead and install it. This plugin will be renamed to Object Record Lists plugin after it has installed.
  6. Select the Object Record Lists plugin. 
  7. Select the Components tab to view the list of configured Record Lists.
  8. Select the New button to add a new Record List.
  9. Provide a Title that represents the label for the Record List within the mobile app.
  10. From the drop-down list, select the appropriate object for the Record List.
  11. Provide a Display Order for the Record List for the main menu of the mobile app.

Enabling Map View

To enabe the Map View for a configured Record List, the following two configuration values must be set:

  1. Show Map - This must be checked.
  2. Relationship to Location - Describes the relationship of the object to a Location record. Uses dot notation and the API names for the fields - standard or custom - with support for a maximum depth of 3.


In the example screenshot below, the Account object has Map View enabled via the custom field of the Account object with API name Location__c and corresponding relationship name Location__r.
