Limiting Views Available to Mobile Web Clients

Every mobile user is assigned a routing model to help optimize the size of that user's mobile database. To match the data routed to mobile users assigned to some of these routing models, administrators can limit the views for these users. Administrators can limit views for mobile users with the following out-of-the box routing models: Sales Representative, Analyst, Minimal Data, and Sales Manager.

Determining what views a mobile user sees depends upon the responsibilities assigned to that user and the views attached to these responsibilities. The list of views attached to a specific responsibility are listed and administered in the Responsibilities View within Siebel's Applications Administration screen. For more information about this topic, see Using the Responsibilities View.

Each view attached to a responsibility includes a Local Access flag. Limiting views is accomplished by turning off the Local Access flag for views that a particular mobile user does not need.

Responsibilities with the Routing Model suffix include all the views that are not available to the user assigned to the corresponding routing model. This prevents the application from displaying views for a mobile user where there is no data.

Another mobile user, with or without the same responsibilities, may have a different set of views turned off. Therefore, administrators can turn off one set of views for one mobile user and a different set for another mobile user. By limiting the views on a user-by-user basis, administrators can further optimize the size of local databases.

NOTE:  A particular user may have two or more responsibilities that include the same view. If Local Access=False (unchecked) for this view in any of the user's responsibilities, then the view is not available on the mobile Web client. This view will not appear in any Navigation element, including the Site Map.

The corresponding Responsibilities with the Routing Model suffix include: Sales Representative Routing Model, Sales Manager Routing Model, Minimal Data Routing Model, and Analyst Routing Model.

A mobile user will have access to that user's normal views when operating either as a dedicated Web client or a Web client. The limitation on the visibility of views only applies while operating as a mobile Web client.
