What is the purpose of "Mobile Patterns" in OutSystems?

The purpose of "Mobile Patterns" in OutSystems is to provide predefined templates for common functionality, which significantly saves development time. These patterns include reusable templates for user interface elements and application functionalities that are commonly needed in mobile applications, such as navigation menus, forms, and input validations. By using these patterns, developers can accelerate their development process since they do not need to build these components from scratch. This also ensures consistency in design and functionality across different parts of the application, making it easier to maintain and update.

Implementing patterns allows developers to focus more on the unique aspects of their applications rather than reinventing the wheel for standard features. This facilitates quicker prototyping and reduces the potential for errors, as these patterns are designed to follow best practices within the OutSystems platform.
