Model a Tile Set for a Companion

Purpose

This process describes the steps required to create and design a tile set that need to be used in a mobile client companion using Mobile Application Studio.

We recommend that you create a tile set for a companion, instead of reusing a tile set that you have modeled for a mobile client application. This is because the tile set for the companion has different modeling guidelines to follow.

Prerequisites

You have identified the required tile to be included in the tile set.

Process Flow

...

       1.      MAS users create a Standard tile set. This is done by including the tile that has been modeled specifically for the companion. For more information, see Creating a Tile Set.

The other tile set types, such as Custom Popup and File/Choice are not supported in a companion. In addition, you can include only one tile in the tile set of the companion.

       2.      MAS users design layout of the tile set by specifying the required properties. For more information, see Designing the Tile Set Layout.

You must specify the Visible property of the tile set. This property allows the application user to navigate to the tile set directly from the main screen in a companion. 

You do not have to define the behavior of the tile set, as writing scripts is not supported.

Result

The tile set that needs to be included in a business component has been modeled.
