Adding the Attribute to a Selection Page

This step creates the attribute in the class system and defines where it displays in the selection pages. It replaces configuring the originating applet step in the Oracle's Siebel Tools process for creating a pick applet.

This task is a step in Process of Creating an Attribute with a Business Component Domain.

The attribute data type should be the same as the data type of the business component field from which the attribute value will come. For example, if the data type of the business component field is Boolean, the attribute data type should be Boolean. The system does not verify that the attribute data type and the business component field data type are the same.

In the User Interface view, you do not need to pick a UI control for the attribute. When you define the PickMap01 UI property on the attribute, the system automatically assigns a text field with select button to the attribute. When you select a record from the pick applet, the specified field in the record displays in the attribute text box.

If you select a UI control for the attribute, it will be overridden by the text box with select button.

To add the attribute to a selection page

1. Define an attribute on a class. Leave the list of values and the Default Value field blank.
2. Verify that only products that are themselves customizable products or will always be components of customizable products are assigned to the class. Products that will be part of bundles should not be assigned to the class since they are not configured using selection pages.
3. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, and then the Product Definitions view, and select and lock the desired product with components. This product must belong to the class on which the attribute is defined.
4. In the User Interface view, select a group and add the attribute to the Group Item List.

   Do not select a UI control for the attribute.
