DataSplice Releases Mobile Integration Suite 3.0
Beginning a Session
Logging In
|
The first screen you will see when starting the DataSplice Remote Client is the login screen. To log in, enter your user name and password in the corresponding fields. Select your correct domain from the Domain dropdown list. If the domain you are looking for does not appear in the list, open the virtual keypad and enter it into the domain text field using the stylus. After your login information has been entered, tap the Connect button. Note: Please keep in mind that all user name, password, and domain information in DataSplice is case-sensitive. |
Once you have successfully logged in, you will be taken to the list of views. If you are going to use DataSplice in online mode, you can continue on to using the views. For an explanation of the views, please see the Views section. If you are going to use DataSplice in offline mode, you will now need to obtain an offline session. Please refer to the following Obtaining an Offline Session section for more information.
Obtaining an Offline Session
If you wish to use DataSplice in offline mode, you must first obtain an offline session after you have logged in. This process caches the necessary offline data directly onto the handheld device. This allows you to use the device in the same way that you would if you were in a normal online session. The difference is that DataSplice will use and update the data that is stored on the handheld device, since an actual connection to the DataSplice Server is not possible without connectivity.
Getting Offline Data
|
To get offline data: Tap Session > Get Offline Data. This tells the DataSplice Server that you want to take your data from the Server and copy it to the handheld device so you can work offline. |
Selecting the Views to Update
|
You will be shown a list of views. Place a check mark beside each view for which you would like to download data to the handheld device. By default, all of the views should be checked. Tap OK to continue. |
Downloading Offline Data
|
Based on your login name, the DataSplice Server will determine all of the necessary data to download to the handheld device. When the download is complete, the screen will display summary information about the data received. To continue, tap OK. |
Disconnecting from the DataSplice Server
|
Now that the necessary data has been cached on the handheld device, you can disconnect from the DataSplice Server and go offline. To disconnect from the DataSplice Server, tap File > Disconnect. |
|
You will see a checkbox to Release offline session and disconnect. Leave this box unchecked and tap OK to continue. |
Successfully Obtained an Offline Session
|
You have now successfully obtained an offline session and are working in offline mode. You can easily tell which mode you are in by referring to the far right section of the status bar. This should now say Offline. |
