Handheld Settings
The settings that you setup for your device are pushed to the preview or production site you used to setup. This means that if you setup your device on production, it will not be configured for preview and if you setup your device on preview it will not be configured for production. The proper method for adding devices would be to first add the device through preview. And then setup your device on production which will add the settings to both the production and preview PA_Common tables.
Important Note - Additional Information
By virtue of how the Handheld Common tool functions. It's always part of the process to start setting up a unit on the production side regardless of whether it is to be used in Production or as a test unit on Preview.
For initial handheld connection, the system always connects to production first, then looks at the PA Common/handheld_assignment table where the units are registered to then know if they are registered on Production or Preview. That's the logic path so it is important to always write the tables from production side first.
Additionally, this is why we can refresh preview sites without loosing the Handheld units that are configured to specific preview sites.
