Windows in Siebel Tools
Most of the work you do in Siebel Tools will be through the Object Explorer Window, the Object List Editor, or the Object Properties Window. Each of these windows is described in the following sections.
Object Explorer
The Object Explorer is your starting point for working with object definitions. You use it to navigate through the Siebel object type hierarchy. It shows you the top level object types and lets you to expand them to reveal their child object types. You can also click the Flat tab to view object types listed alphabetically in a non-hierarchical structure. The Project drop-down list lets you display the object types for all locked projects or a particular project only.
Not all the top level objects appear in the Object Explorer by default. You can display or hide object types by setting your Development Tools Options. Choose View > Options and then click the Object Explorer tab. Add or remove objects from the list of visible objects. The Object Explorer is shown in Figure 7.
Object List Editor
The Object List Editor appears to the right of the Object Explorer. It lists the object definitions for the object type selected in the Object Explorer. For example, in Figure 8 the Object List Editor is displaying the object definitions for the Applet object type selected in the Object Explorer. The Object List Editor is what you use to create, modify, or delete object definitions.
Object Properties Window
The Properties Window displays the property values for the object definition selected in the Object List Editor. It provides you with all property definitions at a glance. The property window is often more convenient than the Object List Editor when you want to view or edit objects that have many properties. You can show or hide the properties window by doing the following:
To show the Properties window
- Choose View > Windows > Properties window.
To hide the Properties window
- In the Properties window shown in Figure 9, right-click and then choose Hide.
