Configuring the Siebel Handheld Client Application


Complete the following steps to configure your handheld client application.

To configure the Siebel Handheld Client

  1. Define the user functionality.
  2. Determine which user interface elements (such as screens, views, toolbars, applets, find, and help) will be necessary for your Siebel Handheld Client end users. For more information, see Defining User Functionality.

  3. Configure the Siebel Handheld Client user interface.
  4. The process for configuring user interface elements in the Siebel Handheld Client is the same as the process for designing user interface elements in the Siebel Mobile Web Client. For more information, see Configuring User Interface Elements and Siebel Tools Reference.

  5. Identify all eScript or VB script used in the Siebel application, and make sure that it does not conflict with the handheld application configuration. Siebel Handheld applications do not currently support scripting.
  6. Compile the new configuration.
  7. For more information, see Compiling the Application.

  8. Update directives in the Siebel Handheld Client configuration file.
  9. For more information, see Data Filtering.

  10. Test the new configuration.
  11. Test the configuration, repeating Step 2 through Step 6, to address any configuration errors.

After completing the Siebel Handheld Client configuration, you are ready to install it on the handheld devices. To install the Siebel Handheld configuration on a handheld device, see the instructions in Installing on the Handheld.
