Removing the “Add” (+) Button from a Freedom UI Section on Mobile

When working with Creatio Freedom UI on mobile devices, every section by default displays a floating “+” (Add/New) button. This button allows users to quickly add new records.

While this is useful in many cases, there are scenarios where you may want to restrict users from creating new records via mobile. For example:

• The section should be read-only on mobile.
• Record creation is handled through specific business processes instead of manual input.
• The mobile view needs to be streamlined to avoid unnecessary actions.
• In such cases, the presence of the floating “+” button becomes misleading or unnecessary.

The Solution

To remove the “Add” button from a section in the mobile Freedom UI, you can update the GridPageSettings schema by removing the floatAction property from the section’s ViewConfig.

Here’s the required configuration:

{		
	"operation": "merge",		
	"name": "settings",		
	"values": {			
		"viewConfigDiff": "[{\"operation\":\"remove\",\"name\":\"ViewConfig\",\"properties\":[\"floatAction\"]}]"		
	}	
}

After applying this change, the floating Add/New button will no longer appear in the mobile view of the section. Users will still be able to view and interact with existing records, but they will no longer see the option to add new ones directly from mobile.
 

This ensures a cleaner, more controlled mobile experience, aligned with your business requirements.
