Example
In the following example, there are three complete pagesets, including data and UI:
- Computer
The computer pageset has selections for processor speed and hard-drive size.
- PCI-1
The PCI-1 pageset allows the user to configure Ethernet cards.
- PCI-2
The PCI-2 pageset allows the user to configure SCSI cards.
To link these pagesets together in a subconfigured mode, use the following procedure.
To create a subconfiguration
- Create pagesets complete with data and UI.
- Determine which pageset is the PARENT, for example Computer.
- Determine which pagesets are the CHILDREN, for example PCI-1 and PCI-2.
- Create a Feature table in the PARENT pageset, for example PCI_CARD.
- Inside the Feature table, create a column called CHILD.
CHILD is a reserved name.
- In the CHILD column, enter the name of the CHILD pagesets, for example PCI-1 and PCI-2. The following table shows the complete data to enter into the Feature table.
- In the Inputs page for the Computer pageset, create a BuildWidget UI control that calls its values from the PCI_CARD Feature table. For information on BuildWidget, see Siebel Interactive Designer API Reference.
When the user selects Ethernet card, the PCI-1 pageset is instantiated as the CHILD. If the user changes their mind and selects SCSI card, the PCI-2 pageset is instantiated and replaces the PCI-1 pageset Feature table values with PCI-2 values.
- To link the pagesets, you can either:
- Use the Subconfiguration and Optional Subconfiguration links in the BuildTarget API. For more information about using these links, refer to the Pageset Functions chapter in Siebel Interactive Designer API Reference.
- Use references to Feature tables.
