Type Tag of the siebel_basic_mapping.xml File

The type tag defines the Siebel CRM object that Siebel CRM Desktop maps to Microsoft Outlook.

Siebel CRM Desktop includes the following attributes in the type tag:

• id. Defines the ID or name of the Siebel CRM object that Siebel CRM Desktop maps to Microsoft Outlook.
• display_name. Defines the name of the folder that Siebel CRM Desktop displays in the Microsoft Outlook tree view that Siebel CRM Desktop uses to store the records of the Siebel CRM object.
• folder_type. Defines the type of the Microsoft Outlook folder. The value for the folder_type attribute is typically 10 for a custom Siebel CRM object.
• hidden_folder. Determines if the folder that the display_name attribute specifies is visible in the Microsoft Outlook tree view.
• predefined_folder. Defines the type of Microsoft Outlook folder. If you must store Siebel CRM objects in a native Microsoft Outlook folder, then Siebel CRM Desktop uses the predefined_folder attribute.
• prohibit_user_modification. Prohibits the modification to an object that is declared in the type tag. The default value is false.
• ver. Used during development. Siebel CRM Desktop does not apply any change to the description for the object that the id attribute defines until the value of the ver attribute is increased.
