Requiring User Registration for Availability to Promise

Siebel eSales does not require the customer to register on the Web site before checking product availability. However, you can configure the logic behind the Check Availability button to require registration by:

• Hiding the Check Availability button. In this case, anonymous users will not see the button unless they explicitly log in.
• Adding the Explicit Login parameter to the view.

This task applies to customers checking product availability using Siebel eSales. It does not apply to employees checking product availability.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Third-Party Product Availability Applications.
