Screens Drop-Down List

The Screens drop-down list is the first level of navigation in the Siebel Handheld application. When you launch the Siebel Handheld application for the first time, this drop-down list is labeled Screens unless you have configured a start up view to appear. When you tap the Screens drop-down list, a drop-down list of all available screens appears. Tap the desired screen in the list to navigate to it.

For information about configuring a start up view, see Setting User Preferences in the Siebel Handheld Application.

Show Drop-Down List

The Show drop-down list is the second level of navigation in the Siebel Handheld application. This is where you choose views for the selected screen. When you launch the Siebel Handheld application for the first time, this drop-down list is labeled Views.

Application-Level Menu

The application-level menu consists of the File, Edit, View, and Help menus. Tap a menu to select a menu option. The options that are available in each menu vary depending on the task you are performing.

Queries Drop-Down List

Up to two predefined queries, or business object filters are displayed in the Queries drop-down list. The list displays the query chosen when you synchronized (or the default filter if you did not change the Set Filters selection) and the All Records query, if it is defined. For more information about the queries drop-down list, see Data Filtering for Siebel Handheld Applications.

Toolbar

The toolbar on the Siebel Handheld application has buttons for frequently used functionality like record navigation and querying. You can configure your toolbar and specify which buttons are displayed. For more information about the toolbar on your Siebel Handheld application, see the Siebel Handheld application online help.

Status Bar

The status bar appears at the bottom of the application window. It provides information about the current view.

Siebel Store-and-Forward Messaging and Asynchronous Query Icons

If your Siebel Handheld application is enabled with Siebel Store-and-Forward Messaging, three icons appear in the top-right corner of the screen. They are the Inbound Message icon, Asynchronous Query icon, and Outbound Message icon. Table 30 displays the Store-and-Forward Messaging and Asynchronous Query icons.
