DisplayType


The DisplayType user property is used for overriding the Type property at the field level in Siebel Business Applications configured for right-to-left (RTL) display. This user property allows you to make text fields display as data types that are always left to right, for example, DTYPE_ID, DTYPE_PHONE, and so on.

Value

The value for the DisplayType user property must be one of the following:

  • DTYPE_CURRENCY
  • DTYPE_DATE
  • DTYPE_ID
  • DTYPE_INTEGER
  • DTYPE_NUMBER
  • DTYPE_PHONE

Usage

Displaying data from right to left for some fields does not make sense. For example, a service request number must always display from left to right. Because the Type property for the SR Number field is set to DTYPE_TEXT, this field has a DisplayType user property set to DTYPE_ID to make sure the service request number displays left to right.

NOTE:  The DisplayType user property is applicable only for Siebel Business Applications with an RTL configuration.
