Personalization Keys

Personalization keys are used to fill in values for a parameter and are global to the Unwired Server. They are most useful when a parameter's value is unchanging and is used in multiple places within a mobile application or are used in multiple mobile applications on the same Unwired Server. Mobile development supports two types of personalization keys:

• Preference attribute – you can define these when developing a mobile business object. They are used in mobile applications and eventually stored in Unwired Server. Before using these keys, each user sets their own values. For example; name, address, zip code, currency, location, or customer list.
• Login/password – refers to the user's login/password information used to log into the Unwired Server. The key values are stored in memory and maintained only for the current login session. Unlike preference attributes, login and password are read-only and reset each time the user logs in or changes their password. The values are used as personalization attributes of other data source definitions.
