Conventions

---

The following conventions apply to object usage and the contents of this documentation:

You must spell object names as they are listed in the documentation.
A constant is case-sensitive and is usually spelled with all uppercase characters. Examples are TRUE and FALSE for Boolean fields.
In property description tables, the Property column contains one of the following values:
(R) Required. You must make an entry for this property, either to complete data entry for the record or for the object definition to work correctly.
(O) Optional. You are not required to enter a value.
(S) System. The system supplies a value, which you cannot alter.
An asterisk (*) denotes object types or properties that are hidden in this version of Siebel Tools. If an object type has an asterisk, then the object type and all of its properties are hidden. Otherwise, only the property is hidden.

The following information details how to access object properties in Siebel Tools.

When first logging into Tools, the Object Explorer will contain a listing of the most used object types for Siebel 7.x. The following instructions explain how to access more of the available object types.

To access object types

Start Siebel Tools.
Choose View > Options.

The Development Tools Options dialog box appears.

Click the Object Explorer tab.

The left side reflects a listing of available top-level objects; the right side, the top-level object types presently visible in the Object Explorer.

Move items from the left to the right side to have more object types appear in the Object Explorer.
Click OK.

The Object Explorer now contains the object types you wish to use.

The object types that are not used by the Web Client are hidden from view and are not listed in the Object Explorer. To see these object properties, change the ClientConfigurationMode parameter in the configuration file for Siebel Tools (tools.cfg).

To access hidden object properties

Exit Siebel Tools.
Open the tools.cfg file and change the ClientConfigurationMode parameter to All.
Save the file and restart Siebel Tools.

The hidden object types and properties are now visible in Siebel Tools.
