Dynamic segments in a record screen enable users to see a subset of relevant records rather than a whole list of records.
Use dynamic segments to create a link between selected elements near the top of the screen and the content displayed below. The data displayed can either be the whole list of records or specific records that relate to the individual segments. For example, a time sheet can contain a dynamic segment consisting of the days of the working week. When a day is tapped, the relevant data displays according to the selected segment.
- Record screen header - An item view that displays a summary of records within a record screen. For more information, see Record screen.
- Dynamic segment - List of records where each segment is a section of the list, for example, a day of the week. The data displayed in the embedded list screen area varies according to the selected segment.
- Header segment - Optional component that displays the whole list of records. For more information, see Embedded lists for a record screen.
- Segmented control - Area that includes both the dynamic segment and the header segment.
- Embedded list screen - Display area as defined by the user's selection in the segmented control. For more information, see Embedded lists for a record screen.
- Footer function - A function instance or function location that appears at the bottom of a record screen. For more information, see Associate a function with a location in the app.
Sizing of dynamic segment buttons
When configuring a dynamic segment, you must define the height and width of the buttons. The options are small, medium, or large. Use the illustration to get a perspective of the sizes available.
