|
|
Calculated (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. |
TRUE = The field's value is calculated by the business component rather than retrieved from the database server. |
Calculated Value (O) |
The expression used to calculate the field's value if Calculated is TRUE. |
|
Column (R+) |
The name of the database table's column. References to the field are done through its name. (+) This property is not used for calculated fields, fields of virtual business components, or MVFs, but is required for other fields. |
The column name is case-sensitive and must be specified the same as it is in the database. |
Currency Code Field (O) |
The name of the currency code field. Used with a data type of DTYPE_CURRENCY. |
The default field name is Currency Code. |
Dest Field (O) |
If the Multi Valued property is TRUE, the field in the destination business component defined in the Multi Value Link field. If Multi Valued is FALSE, this property is ignored. |
|
Exchange Date Field (O) |
The name of the exchange date field; used with a data type of DTYPE_CURRENCY. |
The default field name is Exchange Date. |
Force Active (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. For more information, read Force Active. |
TRUE = The data value is always retrieved from the database. |
Force Case (O) |
The case for the field value. |
Valid values are UPPER, LOWER, or FIRSTUPPER. |
Hidden (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. |
TRUE = Makes the field invisible to all dynamically created list views, such as those used in the forecasting module. This property is used to support specialized functionality and is not intended for general configuration. For a business component data type of DTYPE_ID, the default is TRUE; otherwise, the default is FALSE. |
Immediate Post Changes (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. Field data is posted to the server when the focus moves off of the field and then the data is refreshed. Causes an immediate roundtrip to the server. When set to True the browser script PreSetFieldValue event is bypassed. Typically used for constrained drop-down lists and calculated fields. Excessive use affects performance. |
TRUE = Changes to field object definitions are posted as made. |
Internal Pick Applet (O) |
Used by the workflow user interface. For the Decision Point step, you can set conditions on the business component fields. If the business component field on the UI normally has an applet, you can set this business component field attribute to make the workflow UI use that applet when displaying conditions for the field. |
|
Join (O) |
The name of the join object definition used by this field. Used to retrieve data from the table defined by a join. Also refer to Join. |
This property's value corresponds to the join's Name property. |
Link Specification (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. You must specify as TRUE if any business component used as the child of a link from this business component uses the Parent type of default values and expects to get a value. |
TRUE = Specifies that the field's value is passed as a default value to a field in the child business component. |
Multi Value Link (O) |
If the Multi Valued property is TRUE, specifies the multi-value link for the field. If the field is not multi-valued, this property is ignored. |
|
Multi Valued (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. |
TRUE = The field is multi-valued. FALSE = The field is single-valued. |
Name (R) |
The user-defined name for the field. All references to the field are done through its name. Do not change the name of any Siebel Systems-provided fields. Doing so can create upgrade problems and may affect intended behavior. |
The name can contain spaces and must be unique within the business component. |
No Copy (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. |
TRUE = Specifies that during a Based On Last operation, the field's value is not copied into the newly created record. If No Copy is set to FALSE in fields from a joined table, ensure that No Copy in the join field (identified in the Source Field property in the join specification) is also set to FALSE. Otherwise, in the user's Based On Last operation, the new record appears to copy the fields from the joined table, but when the record is required the fields are not populated. |
Oracle Sequence Object (O) |
The name of an Oracle sequence object. The sequence is used for field defaults when creating a new record. The Oracle sequence object has to be created manually in the Oracle Database. This is an exception to the normal way the Oracle sequence object is configured. Oracle sequence object is not supported in Siebel Remote Replication Environment. |
|
PickList (O) |
The name of a picklist object definition used to display a list of valid values from which the user can choose. |
|
Post Default Value (O) |
The value used for an empty field when the record is initially written to the database. This value is not used if the field is left empty on subsequent updates to the record. The post-default value for the field is used even when the field is not exposed in the user interface. This property is not validated for a calculated field. The Link Specification property needs to be set to TRUE on the Parent business component for the parent syntax to work in the child business component's linked field. |
Limited to 255 characters. |
Pre Default Value (O) |
The value used for an empty field when a new record is created through an Add New Record or Copy Record operation. The value can be changed by the user before the record is written to the database. The pre-default value for the field is used even when the field is not exposed in the user interface. This is true for Copy Record operation only if the NoCopy property is set to TRUE. This property is not validated for a calculated field. |
Limited to 255 characters. |
Precision (O) |
The maximum number of digits, to the left and right of the decimal point, for a numeric field. |
The default is 16. The maximum value available is database dependent. |
Read Only (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. In general, fields that are based on a joined table are always read-only. There are two exceptions to this rule—joins to extension tables and joins to active intersection tables. Certain fields are read-only even if the Read Only property is FALSE. The Effective Start Date field for the following business components is always read-only:
- Account Product
- Promotion
- Promotion Account
- Promotion Account Product
- Promotion Administration
- Promotion Product
See also Join. |
TRUE = Prevents the field value from being changed by the user. |
Required (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. |
TRUE = Requires a value to be entered into the field before the record can be written to the database. |
Scale (O) |
The maximum number of digits to the right of the decimal point for a numeric field. |
Valid values are 6 for numeric values or 0 for integers. The maximum value available is database dependent. |
Text Length (O) |
The maximum length of the text in the field. This property is usually ignored and the length retrieved from the underlying column definition. Note: Text Length is not ignored if a Text field has a user property named Text Length Override. |
|
Type (R) |
The field's data type. For more information, read Field Data Types. |
|
Use Default Sensitivity (O) |
A TRUE or FALSE value. For fields of type DTYPE_ID, queries are case-sensitive if Use Default Sensitivity is TRUE and the CaseInsensitive setting in the CFG file is FALSE. Queries are case-insensitive for this data type if Use Default Sensitivity is TRUE and the CaseInsensitive setting is TRUE. However, for Id fields not exposed in the business component (such as the ID field in Opportunity), the User Default Security property cannot be set. |
TRUE = Causes the sensitivity mode that the application is running in (as defined in the data source) to be used in QBE searches that do not explicitly specify which sensitivity mode to use. |
Validation (O) |
The expression used to ensure data correctness when data is entered. Also, the validation is evaluated only for the field for which it is added. Should be used only with single value fields, not MVFs. |
Limited to 255 characters. |
