Constructing Business Object Filters for Siebel Mobile

Business object filters are applied to a specified business object, and they can contain search and sort specifications for business components that are part of the business object.

There must be a default filter for each business object name. Default filters make sure that users avoid downloading too many records accidentally. It is not recommended that you set more than one filter as the default for a business object.

You can specify business object filters at either the application level or the user level, but not at the component level. Business object filters specified at the user level override a filter specified at the application level, provided the application-level filter has the identical values for the business object name and filter name. The list of filter options presented to the user is the merged list of all application filters except those overridden at the user level, plus all user filters.
