Your application will be delivered to the mobile devices of the groups of users that you specify through a channel. For an overview of tasks involved in setting up a channel for a group, see Creating a group and Managing channels for a group.
When you set up a channel on M-Business Server, you specify a single URL for the top level page of the channel content, and the Link Depth; the number of links away from that page for which pages should also be downloaded. For a graphic explanation of Link Depth, see the "Link Depth Setting" description in Understanding channel settings.
When you set up a channel, you may also specify the channel audience. Channels can be categorized according to the audience targeted, as follows:
Group channels: A group is a collection of users to which you can assign Web channels. When you assign Web channels to a group, all members of that group will have access to those channels. You can also specify the type of channel you are creating: Managed, Optional, or Required.
Personal channels: You specify a single user, and that user only is automatically subscribed to the channel.
Public channels: By defining a channel as public, you allow any user to subscribe to it, but no one will be subscribed to it automatically. The channel will be listed in the M-Business Server’s list of public channels and individual users may subscribe to them through the M-Business Server desktop user interface or directly from the mobile device.
For instructions on setting up these different categories of channels, see the following topics.
For user instructions on self-subscribing to channels, see Managing Channels on the Desktop Computer.
