Name of the XML element that Siebel CRM Desktop uses in Siebel messages for values from this field.

Indicates if this field is available to choose a filter expression on the control panel.

The label that displays in the user interface.

Name

If the IsFake tag for this field is set to no, and if this field is not present in requests to the Siebel Server, then this name must be identical to the field name of the Integration Component from the API.

OrderNumber

Indicates the order number of this field. The Web Service Connector uses this tag internally. If several fields are defined that hold a reference to a parent record, then their order numbers must reflect the nesting order of the parent types. This situation occurs if an association exists between two parent types where one of the parent types is nested in the other parent type.

Name of the type of list object. You must use the picklist tag to define the list in the siebel_meta_info.xml file.

RefObjIsParent

Binary: yes or no

Indicates if the object type that is referenced is a parent. The Web Service Connector uses this tag connector to build the hierarchy for the object type.
