3. In the Key dialog, enter:

   Property	Description
   Name	Enter a name for the key.
   Type	Select the key type.
   Sent by server	Select this checkbox to input data binding for the key.
   Input Data Binding
   MBO attribute	Select to bind the key to a mobile business object (MBO) attribute: Name Convert to UTC
   MBO relationship	Bind the key to an MBO relationship.
   MBO object query results	Bind the key to MBO object query results.
   Hard coded value	When the message is sent by the server to the client, rather than getting the value of the key from a source like an MBO attribute, it uses the fixed value you input.

   Extraction rule	This is determined by the extraction rules you set up.
