Running Database Extract for a Mobile Web Client

---

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

Before running a database extract for Kate Strong, you must make sure that your organization's reporting hierarchies are updated. Use the Position Administration view from the Application Administration screen to verify that she has a valid position in your organization's hierarchy. The resulting information is used by the system's routing rules, and may affect the outcome of the database extract. For more information on positions, see Applications Administration Guide.
