Searching for Contacts

When you open the Contacts screen, Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant displays a combined list of up to 100 contacts from the Siebel industry application and contacts from the Contacts application on the BlackBerry device. The icon to the left of the name indicates if the contact name is Remote (a contact from the Siebel industry application) or Local (a contact from the Contacts application on the BlackBerry device).

As you type in the Search field, Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant filters the display to show matching entries. For example, typing Jo shows all contacts whose name begins with Jo, such as Joanne, Joe, John, and Jordan.

If the contact you are searching for is not one of the 100 remote contacts on your mobile device, you can connect to the Siebel industry application and search it. To search the Siebel industry application, make sure the cursor is in the Search field and then press Enter. Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant searches the Siebel industry application and returns any matching contacts whom you do not have already on your mobile device. If you do not have Internet access, Oracle Mobile Sales Assistant cannot successfully contact the Siebel industry application and cannot retrieve any additional contacts.
