Subscription Agent Definition

The Subscription Agent Definition page allows you to define how subscription requests for back end System data are handled. On Demand subscriptions allow you to define push options. For instance, some accounts or activities have attachments which are not automatically pushed down. If subscribed, however, a Sales Manager can get those attachments On Demand, based on the settings defined on this page.
