Customizing Meta Information

The siebel_meta_info.xml file contains the following meta information:

• A description of the object types that Siebel CRM Desktop supports.
• Fields that are defined and the type for each field.
• XML element names that Siebel CRM Desktop uses to build or parse a Siebel message. Siebel CRM Desktop uses information about the relations between objects from the file for the Siebel message.
• The definition of each object that Siebel CRM Desktop supports. This definition contains a unique name, an XML element, and an XML collection element that Siebel CRM Desktop uses in a Siebel message.

Every object field includes a name, a Siebel data type, and an XML element. Siebel CRM Desktop uses this information in a Siebel message to display values and filters for that field.
