Setting User Preferences in the Siebel Handheld Application

You can set preferences that are related to the appearance and functionality of your Siebel Handheld application. You can do the following:

• Set a default startup screen.
• Set the maximum number of history threads to save.

  CAUTION:  Do not change the value for the Maximum Threads Saved setting. This setting is optimized for the application.

• Set the maximum percentage of the display area that the parent applet can take up.
• Change font size.

  NOTE:  After Siebel 7.5.x, the default font size of record text in applets was increased by 1 point to facilitate user interaction with the handheld device.

• Set the grid lines.

For information about how to set the user preferences, see the online help for the Siebel Handheld application.

User preferences are stored within the following files (located on the handheld device in My Device, Program Files, Siebel Handheld directory), which you can distribute to all Siebel Handheld users to preserve a consistent look and feel for your Siebel Handheld application installation:

• Siebel.spf stores all user preferences (list appearance, behavior, and calendar preferences).
• Siebel.ssf stores all layout specifications (column visibility, and column width).
