Supporting Layout Rules on Mobile Devices

Viewing and Editing Records with Layout Rules as
End Users
For layout rules to execute correctly, end users must have at least Read field permission to all fields referenced in a layout rule. Otherwise, the layout rule is skipped during execution.
When end users create or edit records in Vault CRM on a mobile device, layout rules are executed as end users enter data. For example, when editing a record, selecting a specific picklist value can display a new section or make another field required.
If all sections and fields on a page are hidden due to layout rules, an error message displays.
