PalmOrder formats consist of mobile-application configuration, incoming tables from the accounting system and documents created on a device.
Configuration
| File | What it defines |
|---|---|
exchange.xml | Exchange profiles, documents, tables and ordinary files. |
preferences.xml | Application settings an administrator can change remotely. |
tables_columns.xml | Column views, layouts and actions in lists. |
print_forms.xml and pdf_forms.xml | Available print forms and their templates. |
Every parameter must match the current behavior of the Android application and PalmOrder Server.
XML tables
A table file has a <table> root element, a <schema> section with fields and a <data> section with records. UTF-8 is the recommended encoding.
The order of <f> values in every <record> must exactly match the order of fields in <schema>.
Documents
A document has a header and can have one table section:
- every
<document>inexchange.xmlallows no more than onedocTable; - a document without lines may not have
docTable; - the output XML for such a document contains no more than one
<table>element with lines.
See First exchange for a practical configuration and received-order example.
