Managing channels

Adding a personal channel

If your system administrator has enabled personal channels, you can create and delete personal channels for yourself. When you create a personal channel, you set properties for web content that you want to view on your device.

Title

Identifies the channel. The title of the channel’s main page usually is a good choice.

Location

Identifies the channel’s URL or file location. A URL must be an Internet website or a site on your corporate intranet.

In the Location field, enter the URL of the home page of your channel Website.

Note

URLs entered in any M-Business Anywhere component must contain only forward slashes (/). The backslash character (\) in place of a forward slash will cause an error. When you are setting up directories in a Windows file system, where backslashes separate levels, be sure to change these characters to forward slashes if you copy parts of the file system path into a URL.

Channel Size Limit

The maximum size in kilobytes (KB) that the entire channel can consume on a device. M-Business Server compresses web pages for efficiency: The size limit reflects the compressed size, not the original size.
