Device Storage Requirements

Make sure device users have the minimum free storage space before installing the Mobile Sales application on the device. More may be needed depending on how much data is stored on the device. Storage requirements for the out-of-the-box (non-customized) Mobile Sales application:
  • Windows Mobile: 40 MB free storage space
  • iOS: 25 MB free storage space
  • BlackBerry: a memory (SD) card with 100 MB free storage space. The Mobile Sales application stores the Mobile Sales database and log file on the memory card.

Device Performance and Data Sizing

As the number of data objects increases on the device, the end user interaction response time increases.

The following shows how the device performance can be affected as the data loading increases. Loading large data object sets can result in degraded device response time for users.
List View Load for Accounts on BlackBerry, with Load on Demand enabled
Data set (number of accounts) Load time (in seconds)
Data set 1 (500) 1.238
Data set 2 (800) 1.483
Data set 3 (1500) 1.433
Data set 4 (3500) 1.492
List View Load for Contacts on BlackBerry, with Load on Demand enabled
Data set (number of accounts) Load time (in seconds)
Data set 1 (1000) 1.441
Data set 2 (1600) 1.601
Data set 3 (3000) 1.718
Data set 4 (7000) 1.716
Note that enabling Load on Demand can provide a performance improvement.
