Compatibility
  •  iOS
  •  Windows
  •  Android

Description

This setting allows the admin to hide, show, or change the order of buttons on the home screen. The following are the values you can choose from:

  • User =  A placeholder for user picture which the application obtains automatically from Salesforce if it exists.  A user may tap this button to override and use a picture from their mobile device instead.
  • Pipeline  =  A dynamic dashboard that displays user’s opportunities. 
    • Calendar  =  A calendar in Day, Week, and Month views (iPhone is Day view only).  A user can view their Exchange calendars and their Salesforce events together on one calendar.
    • Tasks  =  Salesforce tasks.
    • Events = Salesforce events.
    • Documents 
     
    • = Allows access to Salesforce Content libraries even when offline. 
    • ContentLibraryTabs  =  A button group.  If using Content Library Tabs (see "Pulsar As A Platform" Settings), you must specify "ContentLibraryTabs" in this list. Depending on the use case, the admin can decide which of these buttons and in what order they would like to display by simply specifying a subset of the names in the preferred order. 
    • AppTabs  =  A button group.  These are the Salesforce tabs associated with the selected App.  This is the only item that the admin cannot hide; If not explicitly specified in the setting, it will be appended at the end.
  • Meetings = Enables the Pulsar meeting notes functionality. Allows for a user to record meeting information (title, date, agenda, participants and notes). This information is not directly exported to Salesforce but instead is stored locally. Later, at the user's convenience, they can choose to export the meeting and/or notes as Salesforce objects. Meetings are Salesforce events, but notes can be exported as a variety of object types defined by another Pulsar setting: pulsar.meetingNotes.exportObjects.

    Button/Tab Images and Background Colors

    Key

    pulsar.home.contacts.image

    pulsar.home.pulsar_calendar.image

    Value

    Numeric value

    Default Value (if any)

    Compatibility
    •  iOS
    •  Windows
    •  Android

    Description

    By default, the tab icons and tab background colors you've defined on Salesforce are used as your button images where available.  Implement this setting to specify a different icon image or background color.  The format for this setting's key is: "pulsar.home." + <object api name> + ".image".  The background color is specified in the value as three comma separated numbers (Red, Green, Blue) each number ranging anywhere from 0 to 255.  The image is attached to the setting itself as an Attachment.  For the icon, we recommend that you use a PNG or JPG image of relatively equal width and height ranging anywhere from 64 to 128 pixels.  Also, generally, an icon with a transparent background may look better especially when paired with your chosen background color.Notes/CommentsHere is an example key/value pair for specifying a different image and a red background color for the 'Contacts' object tab:
    Key:  pulsar.home.contacts.image
    Value: 150,0,0
    Please note that to change the standard Pulsar included items described in the 'HomePage Button Positions' (pulsar.home.topPositions) setting, you use the following key format instead:  "pulsar.home.pulsar_" + <name of pulsar standard item> + ".image".  This setting doesn't apply to the 'ContentLibraryTabs' or 'AppTabs' items as these are button groups and not individual buttons.
    Here is an example key/value pair for specifying a different image and a purple background color for the standard Pulsar 'calendar' button: 
    Key:  pulsar.home.pulsar_calendar.image
    Value: 180,0,180
