Managing channels

Channels are web content, optimized for use on your mobile device, that M-Business Server delivers to your

device. There are three categories of channels:

♦Public channels are available to all users. If your system administrator has defined public channels, you

can browse and select public channels to add to your device.

If your system administrator makes any changes to a public channel to which you are subscribed, you

will download those changes when you synchronize.

♦Group channels are for use by a specific group of users. Note that some channel groups are optional,

while others are not. If your system administrator has defined optional channel groups, you can browse

and select channel groups to join. By joining a channel group, you add all associated channels to your

device.

If your system or group administrator makes any changes to a channel associated with a group to which

you belong, you will download those changes when you synchronize.

♦Personal channels are for use by a specific individual user. If your system administrator has enabled

personal channels, you can create personal channels for yourself.

♦ To subscribe to or remove a public channel

1. Access your M-Business Server personal page.

2. Click the Browse Public Channels link.

The Browse Public Channels page displays. You can review channels by categories, or search by

keyword.

3. To subscribe to a channel, click the add Channel button.

To remove a channel, click the remove Channel button.

4. Synchronize your device.

See the documentation that came with your mobile device for instructions.

Some or all of your group channels may be optional. You may enter or leave optional groups when you

choose. You can join or leave a group from your desktop only.
