There should be three fields listed here. The "User" field is missing which becomes a problem when you try to use that field in a filter later on in the chapter.

The three fields you must select are
Title
Course_ID (Course ID)
User

Note from the Author or Editor:
This is correct, on Page 88 under the Select Fields for Registration you need to select Title; Course_ID (Course ID) and User. Without this step you will run into errors later when you try to use that field.

Mobile Field in Each of the View Tables

The Mobile field option has an additional parameter called,
Field to display in mobile list simple view:

What should be selected here? ... none of the view tables provides a parameter for this field

Note from the Author or Editor:
On pages 191, 192, and 193 all tables should be updated. Change all rows for "Mobile = Enable, 3" to "Mobile = Enable, 3, Service Request". On page 194 change table for "Mobile = Enable, 3" to "Mobile = Enable, 3, Title (linked...)".

Sort

Table parameters for the custom view has the Sort parameter set to Start Time... there isn't a Start Time data field in the original columns setup defined so there isn't a Start Time data field to sort on. Also, there isn't any parameters for what the Start Time data field should be. Listed this a serious in that it will likely have a signicant impact on the project as a whole since workflows and other elements will be dependent upon it.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Update 1st table on page 192. Change row for "Sort = Start Time" to be "Sort = Created".
