Your mobile device users must have installed a UA client on their device; have configured a UA profile and either SMS or e-mail connection, and have synchronized at least one application in order for them to be visible from Mobile Web Studio.
Setting up an application for automated push
Log in to Mobile Web Studio.
Select Build | Applications | Approved from the left pane.
Right-click an application in the right pane, and select Show Subscriptions. The Subscriptions window displays. Any existing subscriptions to the application display.
Profiles are not listed until one or more of your users
installs the UA mobile offline client on their device, and creates
a profile that accesses this UA server. During device profile creation,
the UA mobile application registers the device and user information
with the UA server.
Click New. The New Subscriptions window displays.
On the Subscription window, click one or more user profiles to subscribe to the application.
Fill out the following push synchronization information (these settings apply to all the applications selected).
Sync Interval (Minutes) – defines the minimum interval of time during which a users will have changes pushed out to their device. If you set it to 60, then even if the application data changes every few minutes, the UA server will only update the device’s data once an hour.
Push – indicates whether to enable synchronization for the application. If set to Y, synchronization is enabled; if set to N, synchronization is not enabled (you can set up synchronization values in advance, but not enable the process).
Admin Assigned – determines whether a user can override this subscription from their mobile device. If set to Y, the subscription can only be edited through Mobile Web Studio by a user with necessary permissions, and the mobile user cannot change their own subscription from the AppInfo form on their mobile device. If set to N, the user can override the values from the device.
Click OK to create the push subscription, and close the Subscription window. The subscriptions displays on the Subscriptions list.
Name – the application name,
such as employeeSales.

Profile – the profile name, such as mwsAdmin.

Sync interval – the minimum interval between

60 minutes.
Push – whether synchronization is enabled for the application.
Admin – whether the users can override the synchronization settings from the mobile device.
To push the application immediately, right-click the subscription, and select Device | Synchronize. UA server pushes the application to the specified device immediately.

for an application, UA server automatically creates an agent to
monitor the application for changes.
