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:

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

    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.
