Creating a Find Object

This step is treated in greater detail in the Siebel Tools Find Object Reference. A Find object definition creates one entry that can be added to the Search Center drop-down list, and a corresponding set of Find fields, and possible views.

NOTE:  Most Siebel applications already have a list of Find Objects, though you may need to perform further configuration based on your business needs.

Creating Find Fields

This step is treated in greater detail in Siebel Tools Find Object Reference. The find field appears as a text box in the Search Center when the parent Find is active. This find field accesses the fields of a Business Component that you want to use in the Find operation. For more information, see The Find Field Object.

Creating a Find View

This step is treated in greater detail in Siebel Tools Find Object Reference. The Find View is the list of views that determine the visibility of the Find object. The views specified Find View list must have the applet specified in the Find object. The sequence of the views in the list determines what visibility is used. The first accessible view determines which visibility is used. For more information, see The Find View Object.

Creating an Application Find Object

This step is treated in greater detail in Siebel Tools Find Object Reference. An application Find object definition associates one Find object definition with one application. For more information, see The Application Find Object.
