Product Administration Guide > Customizable Product UI Properties >

Understanding Predefined UI Properties


Table 20 shows the predefined UI properties that you can use. These UI properties provide commonly desired ways to modify the display of items. You do not need to insert a variable name for these properties into a customizable product Web template. You only need to assign them to the desired item in the User Interface Property Designer.

For external images, the image must be stored in the Siebel installation directory in \Public\enu\Images\<filename>, where <filename> is the name of the file.

Table 20. Predefined UI Properties
Property Name
Value
Description
Excluded
Y
Can only be defined on a relationship or on the product root. Cannot be defined on products within a relationship
When defined on a relationship, prevents all excluded items in the relationship from displaying.
If an item in a relationship is a customizable product, does not prevent display of excluded products within that customizable product.
When defined on the product root, prevents excluded items from displaying throughout the product.
Hide
Y or N
When set to Y, causes item to be omitted from selection pages. Can be defined on any part of a customizable product that displays in the UI Properties Designer.
Description
Enter a text string.
Define on relationships only.
Enter the text exactly as it will display to the user.
Image
Images/<filename>
Define on relationships only.
The image displays on the right side of relationship header. The image is displayed full size.
LearnMore
Enter the full URL to the desired location
Use with relationships only. Do not use with component products, resources, attributes, or links.
The words "Learn More" are displayed adjacent to the item and are a hyperlink to the URL you enter.
ProductHeaderImage
Images/<filename>
Define on product root only.
Displays an image of the root product on every selection page. Image displays beneath item header, to the left of item labels. The default image area is 120x120 pixels square. Can only be defined on product root.
FullComputation
Y
Define on attributes with LOV domains only.
When user makes an attribute selection, eConfigurator engine updates the selection state of all the attribute values so that only selectable values are displayed. For example, if one of the values is excluded, it displays uavailable. Can cause performance reduction.
Default behavior: the eConfigurator engine does not update the selection state of the other attribute values and displays all the values as selectable. For example, if one of the values is excluded, it does not display unavailable. If user selects an excluded value, they receive a conflict message.
Use this UI property when display of the selection state of attribute values is required.
