Saved Searches (Search Catalogs) don't Prompt for Values in Mobile Access
If you create a Search Catalog with the option to "Prompt for Values" in the Windows/Web Access, then retrieve this Saved Search in the Mobile Access, it doesn't Prompt for Values - it just retrieves the search with the values you created it with, which is not ideal.
Work on mobile access is no longer a part of our strategy. Prompt for value searches will not be supported within the mobile app at this time

I agree Richard. As the Web Access currently only supports Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox (both of which are not available on iPads or smartphones) the Mobile Access needs to have the same functionality as the Web Access (or at least basic functionality like this should work!)
Alternatively, make Web Access work on Chrome (http://suggestions.maximizer.com/forums/123601-feature-suggestions-for-maximizer-crm/suggestions/2873589-google-chrome-support) and Safari (http://suggestions.maximizer.com/forums/123601-feature-suggestions-for-maximizer-crm/suggestions/2603197-browser-support) so that smartphone and tablet users can use the Web Access instead if they need functionality that doesn't exist in Mobile Access.

Mobile really needs to have virtually the same functionality as Web at user level as our sales people (and I believe the many users) will run on Mobile using iPad's and Tablets rather than laptops etc. Web access is not an option for our Mobile users.

Please add this vital functionality to the Mobile Access in the next release, as several of our customers use Catalog Searches with Prompt for Values, and need this to work in the Mobile Access as well as Windows and Web. Thanks

"Prompt for Values" for Web will be in the upcoming release which is expected to come out in July.
But, Mobile Access will have to wait for a future release.

Just to keep everyone updated, Search Catalogs with "Prompt for Values" still don't work in the Web or Mobile Access in the "Winter 2012" release.

Thanks Connie!

We have this planned for Web Access first, depending on the work involved, we may be able to do it for Mobile Access as well. Thanks for your feedback!

It appears that Search Catalogs with "Prompt for Values" don't work in the Web Access either, which is even more surprising?!

This is particularly important with the growing use of iPads wich, I think, move the mobile useage along from a simple "look up an address/phone number"

Another good suggestion Jenny!
