NFC

In the vDesigner module, the NFC term means Near Field Communication. NFC is a set of communication protocols that allows you to establish communication between two electronic devices at a maximum distance of four centimeters or less. The vDesigner module incorporates NFC as a task. The NFC task is also based on the NFC set of protocols.

In mobile apps, you can configure the NFC task to read the data from the NFC tag and then store it in the entity. Currently, the NFC task captures the data in raw format and then displays it to the end-user.

Steps to Configure

1. On the <<task group’s name>> page, find the Task panel.
2. In the Task panel, search and find the NFC task.
3. Drag the NFC task from the Task panel to the Execution panel.
4. Under NFC, a group of boxes comes into view.
