Using the Airplane Icon on the Application Banner

The airplane icon on the application banner indicates whether Siebel Mobile (the mobile application) can connect to and synchronize data with the Siebel Server. If Siebel Mobile can connect to and synchronize data with the Siebel Server, then the application is connected to the Siebel Server and in online mode. If Siebel Mobile cannot connect to and synchronize data with the Siebel Server, then the application is disconnected from the Siebel Server and in offline mode.

The airplane icon, shown in the following table, indicates the state of the connection (online or offline) for Siebel Mobile.

Icon	Description	Status
	Go Offline (Solid Airplane Icon)	Indicates a connected or online state, where synchronization (data upload and download) between Siebel Mobile and Siebel Server takes place automatically.
	Go Online (Empty Airplane Icon)	Indicates a disconnected or offline state, where synchronization (data upload and download) between Siebel Mobile and Siebel Server does not take place automatically. In this instance, you must manually upload or synchronize data between the mobile application and Siebel Server by tapping Go Online (the empty airplane icon) and selecting a reconnection option as required. For more information, see the following procedure.
