Creating a New List of Values
Siebel CRM comes with many predefined lists of values that support the static lists that Siebel CRM displays in the Siebel client. You can modify a predefined list of values, or you can create a new one:
- You can use the List of Values view in the Administration - Data screen in the Siebel client to modify a list of values. You can add, modify, or deactivate LOV values for LOV types for predefined list of values. For example, you can add another value to the ACCOUNT_STATUS LOV type. For more information, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
- You can create a new list of values in Siebel Tools. If you must add a new set of values that you define as a new LOV Type, then you must use Siebel Tools.
To create a new list of values
- In Siebel Tools, choose the Screens application menu, choose System Administration, and then the List of Values menu item.
- In the List of Values list, create a header record for the new LOV Type using values from the following table.
- Enter a new record for the LOV value using values from the following table.

Choose the name of the LOV type that you created in Step 2. For example ACCOUNT_STATUS. The value you define for this property must match the value you define in the Type property of the list that you configure to display these values. |
Display Value |
Enter the value that Siebel CRM must display in the list. |
Language Independent Code |
In most cases, enter the same value that you enter for the display value. |

Do not modify this property. For more information, see Modifying the Translate Property for a Predefined List of Values. |

You use some properties only for a multilingual list of values, such as Translate, Multilingual, and Language-Independent Code. For more information, see Defining Properties of an MLOV. For a complete description of LOV fields, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
- Repeat Step 3 for each LOV value.
- Create a list to display the LOV Type.
