I have the same problem. When I get a reminder, a pop-up message shows
Tap Forms (application name)
To Do Item(form name): Due Data(Date Time field name)
So there is no actual data from the record, only the form name and a field name
That is by design. What would you like to display in the notification? There’s not a lot of information that I can display in a notification alert. The name of the app is there by default and I cannot change that. I only have control over the small message displayed beneath. So I decided to pick the form name that caused the alert.
Thanks,
Brendan
You can only put an alert on DateTime field. So I would expect a DateTime value in the alert instead of field name. And I would put the value of the first field in the form.
So intead of :
Tap Forms (application name)
To Do Item(form name): Due Data(Date Time field name)
It would look like this:
Tap Forms (application name)
Call the President : 09 Mar 2014 11:00 am
What do you say?
On the second thought, I would retain the form name but to add instead of first field the grouping field value. The best option is when you setup the alert, let the user choose what field s/he wants to show in the alert.
BTW, this mechanism – customization could be used in many other places starting from records view and ending visual view of records links
