To enable records for selective retrieval while logged in as an administrator

  1. Log in to the Siebel Server with administrator privileges.

    For more information, see Logging in to the Siebel Database as an Administrator.

  2. Navigate to an administrative view that displays the record you must synchronize:

    • For an account, navigate to the Accounts screen, and then the Accounts Administration view.

    • For a contact, navigate to the Contacts screen, and then the Administration view.

    • For an opportunity, navigate to the Opportunities screen, and then the Opportunities Administration view.

    • For a project, navigate to the Administration - Data screen, and then the Projects view.

    • For a service request, navigate to the Service screen, and then the Service Requests List view. Use the visibility filter to display All Service Requests.

  3. Query for the record that you must include in future synchronizations for a user.

  4. If the object is an account, contact or opportunity, then click Menu, choose Columns Displayed, and then move the field described in the following list to Selected Columns:

    • For an account, display the Account Team field in the Accounts list.

    • For a contact, display the Contacts Team field in the Contacts list.

    • For a service request, skip this step, and proceed to Step 8.

  7. In the Selected list, choose the user with whom Siebel Remote must synchronize the record, scroll to the right, make sure the Available Offline check box contains a check mark, and then click OK.
