Scroll Keys

Siebel Wireless displays labels and data in a single column to eliminate the need for horizontal scrolling. Vertical scrolling may be necessary when using Siebel Wireless, as views can contain more data than can be displayed vertically on the mobile device's screen.

All wireless browser-enabled devices have mechanisms to scroll up and down the screen. Often this mechanism is a pair of scroll keys (sometimes called navigation keys by some manufacturers). On phones, these keys are usually located just below the center of the screen: they are used to move up and down through the items on the screen.

Other devices have just a single scroll key with two or four arrows (depending on whether the device allows horizontal scrolling as well).

On some devices, a scroll dial serves this function. Turning the dial moves the selection point up or down the screen. Pressing the dial selects the current item.

With other devices, you tap on the appropriate button on the screen to navigate vertically within an application.

For details about how to move from item to item on a particular device, see the device's instruction manual.
