Setting Business Object Filters for Siebel Mobile

You use the Business Objects Filters tab in the Administration - Siebel Mobile, Application Administration view to define business object level filters, which restrict data that is downloaded to the Siebel Mobile client upon synchronization. The following procedure shows you how to set a business object filter for Siebel Mobile disconnected applications. There is no naming convention for business object filters.

To set a business object filter

1. Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Mobile screen, then the Application Administration view.

2. Select the appropriate mobile application in the upper applet, and then click the Business Object Filters tab.

   The fields in the Business Object Filters view are described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Owner	Read only. Indicates the mobile application to which the business object will be associated. For example: Siebel ePharma Mobile.
   Default	Indicates what filter to use by default if a user does not make a selection. Be sure to define a default filter for each business object in Siebel Mobile. If no filters are applied during the synchronization process, then an unacceptably high volume of data will be downloaded to the mobile device.
   Business Object	Text box. Indicates the business object name.
   Name	Text box. Indicates the business object filter name. For example: Filter 1.
   Query	Text box. Indicates the syntax for the query, for example: 'Account'.Search = "[Account Status] = LookupValue (""ACCOUNT_STATUS"", ""Active"" )" 'Account'.Sort = "Name, Location"

3. In the Query field, define the filter for each business object as required.

4. To add a new business object filter, click New, and then enter the required information.
