You can specify the case property columns that are displayed in the case list. Due to the limited screen space on a mobile phone, you typically want to only include two columns. The phones will also let you search over the case properties in the columns - it is sometimes useful to include an ID that the user can quickly type a search term or scan a barcode to find the case they are looking for. The case list can also be sorted and filtered, based on the state of the case.

In the top section you can select the case properties that will be displayed in the list. We recommend you think about the size of your screen when choosing how many properties to include. For example, a java phone can only fit about 2 properties, while a tablet may be able to fit 3 or 4. It is not recommended to use more that 4 properties as columns in the case list as it would shrink the text and make it unreadable. The users are also advised to use shorter and optimised column names to avoid any issues with case lists.
