Running Database Extract for a Mobile Web Client

The database extract process retrieves data visible to Chris Strong from the server database. It retrieves data according to routing rules that define the level of access to information for Chris Strong. It creates compressed files that contain data to be loaded into the local database when Chris initializes the laptop.

Before running a database extract for Chris Strong, you must make sure that your organization's reporting hierarchies are updated and that Chris has a valid position in your organization's hierarchy. The resulting information is used by the application's routing rules, and may affect the outcome of the database extract.
