Defining the Business Object for the Screen Home Page View

This task is a step in Process of Creating a Screen Home Page View.

A screen home page view uses a separate, scaled-down copy of the business object that the other views in a screen reference. For example, in the Accounts screen the Account Screen Home Page View references the Account Home business object. Other views in the screen reference the Account business object. For more information, see About Business Objects.

To define the business object for the screen home page view

1. In Siebel Tools, create a new business object using information from the following table.

   Property	Value
   Name	name of the target business component Home For example, Account Home.
   Project	ScreenHomePage

2. In the Object Explorer, expand the Business Object tree, and then click Business Object Component.
3. In the Business Object Components list, create a new business object component for each of the following business components:
   • Name of the target business component. For example, Account.
   • Name of the target business component Home Add Virtual. For example, Account Home Add Virtual.
   • Name of the target business component Home Search Virtual. For example, Account Home Search Virtual.
   • Recent Record.
   • Public View Link.
   • Private View Link.
   • Salutation (eApps).
   • Screen Home Task Assistant.

Associating iHelp Items to Business Objects

Because a screen home page view references a different business object than the other views in the screen, you must associate iHelp items to the business objects. For example, to display the Create a New Account iHelp task on the Activities screen home page view and on the Activities screen views, you must associate the Action Home and the Action business objects with the iHelp item. My Activities, My Team's Activities, are examples of Activities screen views.
