Configuring Assignment Objects

Each assignment object uses its own set of run-time parameters that control the behavior of Assignment Manager for that assignment object. These run-time parameters are stored in the Siebel repository in the assignment object definitions. You can use Siebel Tools to modify the default values for these run-time parameters. For a list of assignment object parameters and their default values, see Assignment Object Parameters.

NOTE:  If modifying the parameters default employee, default position, or default organization, then make sure that the values specified exist in the appropriate base table. For example, if you change the default organization to My Organization, there must be an entry in the Group Administration > Organizations screen called My Organization.

  1. Start Siebel Tools.

  4. In the Workflow Policy Objects window, select the assignment object that you want to configure.
  5. In the Assignment Objects window, configure the assignment object by setting values in the appropriate fields for each run-time parameter.
