Test Out the Visualforce Custom Action

Now you’ll play the part of an Acme Wireless mobile technician on a customer call, and we’ll test out the custom action in Salesforce1.

Open the Salesforce1 app on your mobile device.
Tap to access the navigation menu.
From the navigation menu, tap Accounts and navigate to an account.
Tap to access the publisher.
Tap Create Quick Order.
In the Merchandise Name field, enter the name of an item, such as iPhone 5.
In the Max Delivery Distance (miles) field, enter 10.
Tap Submit.
In the Search Results section at the bottom, you’ll see a list of merchandise that matches what you searched for. The list shows parts contained in warehouses within 10 miles of the current account. Tap iPhone 5S Gold.
In the Quantity field, enter 1. After identifying nearby warehouses that contain the part you’re looking for, this screen lets you enter a quantity and creates an order for the part. The order is associated with the current account.
If you want to return to the search screen, be sure to use the Back button. If you tap Cancel, an invoice with no line items is created.
Tip
Tap Submit. The order has been created. Swipe to the third page indicator, and you’ll see the Invoices related list. Tap the Invoices related list, and you’ll see the new invoice. You can tap the invoice and then see the line item that was created for the iPhone 5S Gold part.

Success! You’ve gone through the entire process of enabling a mobile technician to quickly search for a part in a warehouse and create an order.
