To define a meeting to display on the web for mobile:

The eBusiness Control screen displays.

2.    By default, when you click "Add eBusiness Control", the Display on Web checkbox is checked. Ensure that this checkbox is checked.

4.    Select the dates in which you want the product to display on the web from the Web Display Dates drop-down.
From the first drop-down, specify the date on which you would like the product to begin displaying on the web.

7.    Select the Web Shipping Message that will display to your customers to indicate the estimated shipping time.
Values in the drop-down are populated based on the codes defined for the non-fixed INV "WEB_SHIPPING_MESSAGE" system type.

8.    As of Personify 7.5.0, if the product has been defined to allow back orders and if you want this product to display on the web even when the available quantity reaches zero, check the Display Out-of-Stock on Web checkbox.
If the "Default Display Out-of-Stock Items" checkbox was checked on the Inventory Parameters screen in Organization Unit Maintenance, this checkbox will be checked by default, but can be changed. For more information, please see Defining Organization Unit Inventory Parameters. If the "Allow Back Order" checkbox is unchecked on the General Setup screen, this checkbox will be disabled. For more information, please see Defining an Individual Inventoried Product. If the product is out of stock (Available quantity defined on the Inventory screen = 0), the Allow Back Order checkbox on the General Setup screen is NOT checked, and this checkbox is checked, the "OUT OF STOCK" product alert will display on the Product Listing and Product Detail pages on the web for this product.

9.    As of 7.5.0, enter the available quantity inventory level at which web users will see the “Limited Quantity Available” badge on the web in the Limited Qty Threshold field.
If an amount was defined in the "Default Limited Quantity Threshold" field on the Inventory Parameters screen in Organization Unit Maintenance, that amount will default into this field, but can be changed. For more information, please see Defining Organization Unit Inventory Parameters. If the Available quantity defined on the Inventory screen is less than or equal to the Limited Quantity Threshold here, the "ONLY [n] AVAILABLE" product alert will display on the Product Listing and Product Detail pages on the web for this product.

This value is passed via the TwitterHashTag value of the MobileGetMeetingListing1 service.
