Companion Synchronization Deployments

Administrators typically provide their users with an initial set of business object filters for the Handheld application and instruct them how to manage the synchronization filters themselves later. They are maintained in the Administration - Mobile screen, Application Administration, then the Business Object Filters view. This view is hidden from mobile users so they cannot create their own business object filters.

You manage these filters at the server level, then replicate any updates you make down to the companion computers via Siebel Remote. The Handheld user can then access the updated filters after performing a Companion Synchronization operation. For more information about filters, see Setting Business Object Filters for Siebel Handheld Application Users.

Additionally, there are several sample business object filters for Handheld applications in the sample database, as well as in the Siebel 7.8 seed data.
