Implementing a new Mobile Approval Type (Part 3)

In Implementing a new Mobile Approval Type (Part 1) I talked about the initial configuration you need to make in Enterprise Components > Approvals > Approvals > Mobile Approval Options > Transactions page and how that configuration gets reflected when viewing new Mobile Approvals. In Implementing a new Mobile Approval Type (Part 2)  I talk about the Application Package PeopleCode Classes that are required for Mobile Approvals, plus one other Record Definition. In this post I demonstrate how the custom classes/methods were called during page load and mouse clicks events. I reviewed Trace Files to determine which methods are called and in what order they were called. The screenshots and classes refer to our custom TOIL App Package Classes. But I think the delivered App Package Classes, for say the Absence Mobile Approvals, defined in the GP_ABS_EVT_HANDLER App Package, could also be referred to. But if you need any clarification please let me know. I may be able to provide our custom code.

The final 2 calls to DataHandler.OXF_TOIL and DataHandler.GetApprovalItemRowset are likely from the Pending Approvals page being displayed again, which is normally where you get redirected to after approving something.
