Overview of Siebel Mobile Integration with Native Device Features

You can access and use the following native device features from Siebel Mobile, provided that you download and configure the Siebel app first from either the Apple App store if using an iOS device or from Google Play if using an Android device:

• File System Access. From Siebel Mobile, you can access the native device local hard disk space to read data from and write data to files stored locally on the device using either relative or absolute paths, or the file URL (file://host/path). Depending on mobile application set up and on whether you are using Siebel Mobile connected or disconnected, Siebel Mobile routes commands to the Siebel Server (if online) or local resources (if offline) as required.

• Location Services. From Siebel Mobile, you can use the native device location services to obtain more accurate location data. For more information about using location services on a mobile device, see "Displaying Location Details in Siebel Mobile" and "Configuring the Privacy Settings for Native Device Feature".

Note : This release of Siebel Mobile uses WkWebView for iOS devices (instead of UIWebView), which improves performance and communication between the application and web page. This release of Siebel Mobile uses SQLite (and not WebSQL): SQLite implements the SQL database system and its query language is a simplified version of SQL. SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine and it reads and writes to ordinary disk files. Whereas WebSQL implementations have a 50 megabyte data download limit, this limitation does not apply to SQLite.
