Creating the Transient Business Component

This task is a step in Example of Developing a Task UI That Assists with Adding an Opportunity and an Activity.

This task UI uses a radio button group to provide the user an option to add an activity to the opportunity. It is not necessary to store the reply that the user provides in the Siebel database. Instead, you use a transient business component to store the reply. For more information, see the following topics:

• Overview of Transient Data
• Radio Button Group

To create the transient business component

   Property	Description
   Project	Choose Opportunity Task UI.
   Name	Enter TBC for Opportunity.
   MultiRecord TBC checkbox	Make sure this property does not contain a check mark.
