Mobile Setup
In this setup you specify central options for Mobile.
- Delete history data after: Specifies the time after which data is deleted from the History. Please note that a change to this field only takes effect after an action by the respective user. For example, after reducing this field, the history of a user above the threshold value is retained until the user performs another action, e.g. a login.
- Use function key hotkeys: If activated, hotkeys are triggered by F1–F12. If deactivated, they are triggered by Ctrl + letter. For testing and development purposes, this option can be switched off. In production, however, we recommend switching this option on, as this results in fewer problems with the function keys. The reason for this is that the keymapper is no longer used on the mobile devices and therefore cannot fail. For further information, please contact your contact person at SIEVERS-GROUP. Please do not switch this option on or off without consultation!
- Use Indi Tab Menu SNC: Shows the individual tab D in the mobile menus. This is reserved for customer-specific extensions. Tab D contains six pre-filled entries to ensure that customer-specific customizations are not overwritten during updates. Pressing empty buttons has no effect. The tabs are populated via events and require a project-specific implementation.
- Use Indi Tab Main Menu SNC: Shows the individual tab X in the mobile main menu. This is reserved for customer-specific extensions.
- Use job scheduler to delete history: This option switches off the deletion of history by the client. Instead, create a job queue entry with the codeunit 70294093 "SNC History Deletion Mgt." and assign the desired time.
- Mobile Masks Auto Update: Specifies whether changed masks should be replaced automatically. If yes, the masks are overwritten during app installation or upgrade. Please note that if this option is activated, an app cannot be installed if there is an error in the masks.
- Storage Account: Fixes the Azure Storage Account from which the masks should be downloaded
- SAS Token: Token for authentication on the Azure Storage Account
- Device Model Selection: This enables a special field on the mobile login page where users can see which device they use. If the SNC Mobile User Change of Device Model allowed option is activated, users can also change their used device on their own.
- Maximum screen width: Limits the maximum width of the mobile display in pixels. On larger screens, the content is centered and not stretched beyond this width.
- Maximum screen height: Limits the maximum height of the mobile display in pixels.
- Maximum screen width portrait: Limits the maximum width of the mobile display in portrait mode in pixels. Default: 800.
- Maximum screen height portrait: Limits the maximum height of the mobile display in portrait mode in pixels. Default: 1480.
MDE Forms Custom Fields
In this section, a custom field can be configured per mobile form. The following forms are supported:
- A4.1 Picking List
- A4.2 Picking Positions
For each form, any field from the corresponding table can be selected via the Field Id field. The Field Caption field automatically shows the label of the selected field.
If a field is configured and the corresponding record contains a value, it is shown as an additional row in the mobile form. If no field is configured or the value is empty, no additional row is displayed.
Mobile User
The users for Mobile, i.e. the MDE, are entered here. Only users who are in this list can log in to the MDE.
In the upper area of the page, it is displayed how many licenses are currently being used and how many are available in total. This display is automatically updated when mobile users are added or removed.
Hinweis
When creating or modifying mobile users, the system automatically checks whether the licensed number of users is exceeded. Mobile users are always subject to licensing, unless they are assigned to a warehouse employee or use a Business Central Device license. In these cases, the license is covered elsewhere and the mobile user is not counted in the license check.

Mobile History
Hinweis
Mobile History is disabled by default and is intended exclusively for troubleshooting purposes. Navigation in mobile forms (e.g., navigating back) is handled by a new, performance-optimized stack mechanism in the JScript add-in that does not require history storage.
This history shows all recorded actions of the selected user in a specific time period. This period is specified in the SNC Mobile setup. The history is cleaned up with every action (incl. login) of the user according to the time period.

Device Model List
Here you can specify your mobile devices and their keyboard types. You have the choice between these types:
- Handheld Scanner with function keys
- Handheld Scanner without function keys
- Tablet without keyboard
- Tablet with keyboard
In addition, you can enter a scaling factor: This enlarges all fonts and graphical elements based on the standard device (MC3300/MC3400) by the specified factor. A value of 1.5, for example, enlarges all elements by 50%. This is particularly useful for larger displays such as tablets to reduce empty areas and improve readability.
You can enter the defined devices per user in the SNC Mobile User table.
If you create a device without function keys or a keyboard and assign it to a Mobile user, the mobile system will show a toolbar with standard functions and the corresponding menu functions. You can find out what the icons in the toolbar mean in the section Toolbar icons Mobile.
On first installation or upgrade, the following device models are automatically created if no entries exist yet:
| Code | Description | Scale Factor | Keyboard Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| ET60AW | 10" Tablet | 1.60 | Tablet without keyboard |
| MC33|MC34 | Handheld scanner with function keys | 0.00 | Handheld Scanner with function keys |
| PC | PC | 1.54 | Tablet without keyboard |
| TC73 | Touch device without function keys | 0.00 | Handheld Scanner without function keys |
