About this task

Screen fetch types typically do not need to be changed. Be sure to test fetch type changes thoroughly before using in a production environment, as fetch type changes can have a significant affect on performance.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > System Mobile > Screens.

  2. Open a screen.

  3. In the Fetch Type field, select a fetch type.

    If you are in the global scope, the record appear read-only. In this case, you can temporarily switch to the appropriate scope by clicking on the banner notification that appears at the top of the record.
