I am creating my first app in MobiOne and I need a bit of help with workflow.
I am creating a business card app for my leads group. I have the logo placed and a select list control placed with all the member’s names already input.
The goal is for the user to select one of those names and as a result, it goes to their ‘page’ and shows their information. If the user rotates their phone or tablet, then that person’s business card shows.
How would I accomplish this? How do I make multiple pages without them showing up on the tab bar (I have scrapped the Tab Bar for this reason).
Do I create 24 separate projects (there are 24 members) and then run the one that is selected. I would rather keep this in one app if possible.
I would love to have it so if you swipe to the left or right it sequentially goes through each member and the select list just allows you to ‘jump’ to that person much faster.
How would you all handle it?

I would create a template page and fill it using JSON.

Mobione does not inlcude a default swipe but it can be done:

As I said in a new post, any help with a code fragment would help me figure it all out.

Well you would still need a screen for each person. Using an JSON you can use one screen and still provide the list of the people. With a lot less coding.
JSON is a data format. I have used it for quizzes and so much more. There are two good tutorials on it:
Using an extrenal json file

Or creating the JSON in the app:

Once you have the json you can have a list widget that holds the people, they click on that and it fills out the details page and opens it.
Here is a good dynamic list sample from Octavio

Thank you so much for your help.
I really LOVE MobiOne and having people such as yourself on this forum makes this app even more invaluable.
I will certainly be asking for your good advice on future, more difficult apps.
I decided to go a different route (I expounded upon in another thread) and that app is now essentially finished.
