Defining Views

---

Often developers will add views to the system during the configuration stage of the implementation process. You need to register new views in the application before they will appear in the user interface. You did this during the development cycle, in order to unit test the new views (see Testing Changes). However, you registered the views in your local development environment; now you need to register them in the Test environment.

Use the View Administration view to register new the views in your system. You must do this before you can associate views with responsibilities.

NOTE:  You should turn off any of the forecast views that you won't be using based on your organization's forecasting configuration decision.

To register views

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Application Administration >Views.
Add records for the new views.

For example, new views for the NREC example, are:

House Detail View
House Detail - Appraisals
House Detail - Renovations

The view name must match the view name as it is defined in the Siebel repository. You can copy the view name from Siebel Tools and paste it into the View list to avoid mistakes.

NOTE:  You generally do not need to modify or delete records for registered views. A view record would require modification only if its name was changed. The only time a view may need to be deleted would be if it no longer existed or if you didn't want anyone to have access to it. Even then, a preferable approach would be to simply not assign it to any responsibilities.
