Multiple Visibility Methods

When a record is extracted by means of different visibilities, the record is tagged with each visibility. For example, if an individual contact record is extracted under Org visibility, and later the same contact record is extracted under Salesrep visibility, the visibility field on the record contains a bitmask indicating that the two visibilities apply for this record. Handheld synchronization extracts data in the following order:

• DefaultBusObjs
• Views
• PickList

You can check the visibilities for a record in the dbfile.txt file. Table 25 lists the values for the visibility bitmasks.

For example, the visibility for a record extracted for both SalesRep and Org would have a visibility set to 33.

NOTE:  Not all visibilities are supported on the handheld device.

Specifically, Group, Catalog and Suborg visibilities are not supported. These are mapped to different visibilities as follows:

• Group -> All
• Catalog -> Org
• SubOrg -> Org
