Hierarchy of Workflow Policy Objects

Using Siebel Tools, you can modify an existing workflow policy and create a new workflow policy to meet your business requirements.

Figure 23 includes the Workflow Policy object type hierarchy in the Object Explorer in Siebel Tools.

You can display workflow policy objects in the Object Explorer. For more information, see Displaying Object Types You Use to Develop a Workflow Process.

If you use Siebel Tools to modify or define a workflow policy object with a local database, then any changes you make are not available on the Siebel Server until after you apply them to the Siebel Server.

For more information, see Object Hierarchy That Workflow Processes Use.

How Siebel Tools Indicates the Primary Workflow Policy Component

The Primary property provides a visual indication of the workflow policy component that is the primary workflow policy component and the workflow policy components that are not primary. For example, the Primary property in Figure 24 for the Account workflow policy component includes a check mark, which defines Account as the primary workflow policy component. Other workflow policy components that Siebel Tools lists in the Workflow Policy Components list are nonprimary workflow policy components of the Account workflow policy object.
