Change the fetch type of a screen to change when the app loads its data.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## 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 AllSystem MobileScreens.
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.
4. Click Update.
