Business Object Filters for Siebel Handheld Applications

All business object filters for Siebel Handheld applications are available for selection by a user at the time of synchronization. Additionally, there is no naming convention for business object filters.

A default filter for a business object is indicated by checking the Default flag in the Administration - Mobile screen, Application Administration, then the Business Object Filters view of the Siebel Web Client. Be sure to define a default filter for each business object in the Handheld application. If no filters are applied during the synchronization process, an unacceptably high volume of data will be downloaded to the handheld device.

NOTE:  In Siebel 7.7, a required field is always extracted in to the handheld device even if it is not exposed in the UI or explicitly defined in Mobile Administration.

CAUTION:  You must select only one filter as the default for each business object. If two filters are marked as the default for the same business object, the actual default can be determined only by proceeding to synchronize and select the default filters from the selection UI.
