Dissecting the Warehouse Management app layout

Dynamics 365 ERP - Development

The Dynamics 365 Warehouse Management app layout is managed by both the App code and the D365 SCM core for a productive workflow.
The app receives a state from the D365 SCM core encapsulated in a "container" with controls to be displayed on the screen.
Controls without default values are placed in the Primary Input Area for user input.
The DisplayArea is determined by heuristics in the D365 core, with default values moving to the Info and Secondary Input Area.
The screen is considered complete once values are assigned to all controls, triggering the Primary Action Area button.
Control placement on the app screen can be influenced through the WHSMobileAppServiceDecoratorRule class family.
It is important to remove controls from the screen after user interaction to avoid infinite loops.
Custom controls can be created with InstructionControl references for requesting confirmations and presenting hints in italic.
