Example: Process of Creating a New Barcode Definition in the Service Handheld Application

Although this example is for the Siebel Service Handheld device, it pertains to all Siebel Handheld products. You can define new one-dimensional barcodes in the Barcode Administration views. To define a new barcode, you need to create a new barcode definition in the Barcode list, then create corresponding records in the Barcode Item list to define data elements within the barcode.

To create a new barcode definition, complete the following procedures:

• To create a new barcode definition for Siebel Service Handheld
• To enable the SHCE Service FS Activity Parts Movements views for barcode scanning
• To create the product Hard Disk 100 GB
• To catalog the product Hard Disk 100 GB

To create a new barcode definition for Siebel Service Handheld

1. From the application level menu, select Navigate > Site Map > Administration-Mobile > Barcode Administration.
2. Click New, then fill in the necessary fields.

   The following table describes the fields in the Barcodes list.

   Field	Sample Data
   Name	Hard Disk 100 GB
   Sequence	Set to the greatest number in the current list view plus one
   Barcode Type	Location
   Buscomp	FS Activity Parts Movement
   Min Length	12
   Max Length	12
   Prefix	#
   Description	Service

3. In the Barcode Item list, add a new record to identify how data will be parsed from the barcode.

   The following table describes the fields in the Barcode Item list.

   Name	Sequence	Min Length	Max Length	Data Desc
   UPC Code	1	1	1
   MFG Code	2	5	5
   Product Name	3	5	5	Product Name
   CC	4	1	1

   NOTE:  Reducing the amount of barcode seed data extracted to the Service Handheld application improves client performance and reduces synchronization database extract size.The following steps provide an example of extracting only the barcode standards that are required for the Service Handheld application. This is applicable as long as all the barcode records for the Service Handheld application defined in the Barcode list have the Description attribute set to "Service."

4. From the application level menu, select Navigate > Site Map > Administration-Mobile > Application Administration.
5. In the Application Administration view, select "Siebel Service for CE."
6. Click the Settings view tab, and make sure the parent record is the application "Siebel Service for CE."
7. Locate the "DefaultBusObj" directive that has the following value:
   • "SHCE Barcode|0||SHCE Barcode||SHCE Barcode Item||SHCE Barcode Enable|".

     Replace that value with the following value:

   • "SHCE Barcode|0||SHCE Barcode|[Description]="Service"|SHCE Barcode Item||SHCE Barcode Enable|".

To enable the SHCE Service FS Activity Parts Movements views for barcode scanning

1. From the application-level menu, select Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Mobile > Barcode Enabling.

   The Barcode Enable list appears.

2. If the following record does not exist, create a new record to enable the Product Name field in the SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements List Applet for barcode scanning with the following information:

   View	Applet	Buscomp	Buscomp Field
   SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements	SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements List Applet	FS Activity Parts Movement	Product Name

3. If the following record does not exist, create a new record for the Product Name field in the SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements Form Applet for barcode scanning with the following information:

   View	Applet	Buscomp	Buscomp Field
   SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements (More Info)	SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements Form Applet	FS Activity Parts Movement	Product Name

4. Save the changes. Now the Buscomp Field "Product Name" in both the "SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements" view and the "SHCE Service FS Activity Part Movements (More Info)" view have been enabled for barcode scanning. The Buscomp Field "Product Name" specified here matches the value in the Data Desc column in the Barcode Item list defined earlier.

NOTE:  The example provided above assumes that the product Hard Disk 100GB has been defined and properly set in the appropriate product catalog.

To create the product Hard Disk 100 GB

1. From the application-level menu, select Navigate > Site Map > Administration-Product.
2. In the Products list, click New, then enter the values as described in the following table:

   Field	Value
   Product	20001
   Part #	Hard Disk 100GB

3. Drill down on the Product Name hyperlink.
4. In the More Info form, click the Field Replaceable box.
5. In the More Info form, make sure the product is in the same organization as that of the Service Handheld user.

   Doing this allows the product to be downloaded to the handheld user's Service Handheld application during the handheld synchronization process.

   1. If the correct organization is not showing in the Organization field, click the select button in the Organization field, and choose the correct organization from the Organization pop-up list.
   2. If the correct organization is showing, click the Products menu, and select Save Record.

To catalog the product Hard Disk 100 GB

1. From the application-level menu, select Navigate > Site Map > Administration-Catalog.
2. In the Catalogs list, click New, then fill in the fields to create a new catalog record.
3. In the name field enter: Siebel Services, then step off the record.
4. Drill down on the Siebel Services link in the newly created record.

   The Categories view appears.

5. Click new, and in the Name field, enter the following value: Maintenance-Support.
6. In the More Info form, click the Products link.
7. Click New, and in the Product field, enter the following value: Hard Disk 100GB.

   After the product and barcode definition are synchronized to the Service Handheld application, the handheld user can use barcode scanning functionality to move the product Hard Disk 100GB in the Activities > Move Parts view.
