Your Mobile Data

Running Salesforce on a BlackBerry smartphone is much different than using the application on your computer. Wireless devices have
a minimal amount of memory, a small screen, and do not maintain a constant network connection. To work with these limitations, a
subset of your Salesforce data is stored in a local database on your phone. This ensures you have access to your most important records
and lets you work offline when no network connection is available. Your Salesforce administrator defines which

tabs

,

objects

, and

records

are available to you in Salesforce Classic.

Note:

With Mobile Lite, your data set is not defined by your administrator. Instead, you have access to a few standard objects,

and the only records that automatically synchronize to your device are ones that you have recently accessed in Salesforce.

IN THIS SECTION:

Mobile Tabs

Mobile Objects

Mobile Records

Mobile Tabs

The following types of tabs are available in the mobile application:

Standard and custom object tabs

Dashboard tab

Reports tab

Web and Visualforce tabs

By default, object tabs in the mobile application reflect Salesforce—if an object's tab is hidden in Salesforce, it is hidden in Salesforce
Classic as well.
