| Note that the amount of data is not based on the load type - the load types generally affect the speed of the initload. |
Direct Load: This will load data for the specific module, based on the rule defined. In the case of CRMOD, it will also include children that use the same Web Service. For example, a direct load of Accounts will load Accounts, and Addresses.
Related Load: This will request the children as it gets a parent, and issues requests for each record for each account. This method has the potential to stack a large number of separate requests, slowing the Initload process down greatly.
Dependent Load: This method will request all of the parents first (as selected by the admin when configuring the download rule), and once the parents are downloaded to the device query for the children in batches. The end results of the related and the dependent should be the same data but more efficient delivered.
An example is that you might choose Accounts as the selected parent for Addresses. 120 Accounts are identified. Swift MEAP™ iEnterprise Mobile™ would then query for addresses for 100 of the records in one request, and then a second request for the other 20.

| When configuring Dependent Load for a module, you will only be provided a list of modules where the current module is a child. Use Map Settings to configure more or fewer parent modules for a given child. |
