Selective Retrieval Routing Model

The Selective Retrieval routing model allows users to designate individual records to be included in Mobile Web Client synchronizations. Appropriately used, this routing model can reduce the volume of data transferred during synchronization, which reduces both synchronization time and the size of the local database. The Selective Retrieval routing model and the Time Filters feature both confer these benefits, but Time Filtering excludes aged data from synchronization by all users, whereas the Selective Retrieval routing model operates on a per-user basis, with per-user specifications regarding which data to synchronize.

NOTE:  This functionality is appropriate for mobile users who use both connected and disconnected (local) versions of Siebel applications. The feature may not be appropriate for users who use only the Mobile Web Client, or who require access to features such as quotes or forecasting. This is because Selective Retrieval limits application functionality in some areas, and because designating records for synchronization requires a direct connection to an Enterprise server (or a Regional server, if the Regional server contains the records to be designated for synchronization).

Siebel v7.7 supports the selective retrieval functionality for the following objects:

• Accounts
• Contacts
• Opportunities
• Projects
• Service Requests

To display a list of views typically associated with this routing model, from the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Application > Responsibilities, and query for a responsibility containing the name of the routing model.
