Registering Views

After creating a new view, you need to register the view in the Siebel application. Registering a view adds a new record for the view in the Siebel database and associates a responsibility with the view. All users with that responsibility will see the new view next time they log in. In a development environment, developers often perform this task to test a new view. In a production environment, this is typically an application administration task.

NOTE:  This is an important step to remember. If you define a view without providing users access to it, it will not appear in the Siebel Web client.

To add the view to the Siebel application

1. Log in to the Siebel application as a user with administrative responsibilities, such as SADMIN.
2. From the Navigate menu, choose Site Map > Administration - Application > Views.
3. In the View Name field select the drop-down arrow.

   The View picklist appears.

4. Select the name of the view and then click OK.

To associate the view to a responsibility

1. From the Navigate menu, choose Site Map > Administration - Application > Responsibilities.
2. Select the responsibility that you want to associate the view with.

   NOTE:  You cannot modify the SADMIN responsibility that ships as seed data with Siebel applications.

3. In the Views list, enter a new record for the view.

Depending on the nature of the new view and the users who need access to it, you may also need to:

• Add new responsibilities.
• Add employees to the new responsibilities.
• Make views read-only for a given responsibility. The read-only feature allows an administrator to implement read-only views using the run time client without having to create objects in the Siebel repository.
