Defining a UI Property
A UI property is a named variable and its value. UI properties modify the display of an item in a customizable product. You define a UI property by selecting the desired item in a customizable product and then defining one or more UI properties for it.
There are two types of UI properties: predefined and user-defined. Predefined UI properties, such as Hide, are Siebel-provided UI properties that perform special functions. User-defined UI properties are those that you define and then insert into a Web template to control the display characteristics of an item.
After you define a UI property, you can verify your work by validating the customizable product. Validating a customizable product displays the selection pages a user sees during a configuration session. To validate the customizable product, from the Item Display Properties menu, choose Validate.
To define a UI property for a customizable product
- Select and lock the desired customizable product.
- From the Customizable Product Show menu, choose User Interface Property Designer.
The User Interface Property Designer view appears.
- In the box displaying the contents of the customizable product, click the name of the item for which you want to define a UI property.
- In Item Display Properties, click New.
A new record appears.
- Fill out the record.
- Name. Enter the name of the UI property variable. The variable can be predefined or user-defined.
- Value. Enter a value for the variable. The value can be predefined or user-defined
- Click Save to save the new record.
Records are not saved automatically when you step off the record.
