Excluded

Y

Cannot be defined on products within a relationship or attribute values.

When defined on a relationship, prevents all excluded items in the relationship from displaying.

If an item in a relationship is a product with components, does not prevent display of excluded products within that product with components.

When defined on the product root, prevents excluded items from displaying throughout the product.

When defined on the attribute definition, prevents excluded attribute values from displaying. This property is applicable for enumerated attribute definitions.

Hide

Y or N

When set to Y for any relationship, product or attribute, this value causes that item to be omitted from the UI selection pages during customization.

This UI property is very useful with class-products. For child products in the class, you can hide portions of the product structure inherited from the class-product. This allows you to define the class-product structure and then tailor its display for each of the child products that inherit the structure.

Can be defined on any part of a customizable product structure, shown on the left-hand side of the tree view that displays in the UI Properties administration view. Acts at the UI level, so if you add this UI property to hide the values that are selected in the existing quotes it does not remove these values from the structure, but only changes the display.

This property hides the item statically, so it remains hidden. You hide products dynamically using a different property, described in Creating Dynamic Siebel Configurator User Interface Controls

Description

Enter a text string.

Define on relationships only.

Enter the text exactly as it will display to the user.

Image

Images/<filename>

Define on relationships only.

The image displays on the right side of relationship header. The image is displayed full size.

LearnMore

Enter the full URL to the desired location

Use with relationships only. Do not use with component products, resources, attributes, or links.

The words "Learn More" are displayed adjacent to the item and are a hyperlink to the URL you enter.

ProductHeader Image

Images/<filename>

Define on product root only.

Displays an image of the root product on every selection page. Image displays beneath item header, to the left of item labels. The default image area is 120x120 pixels square. Can only be defined on product root.

FullComputation

Y

When set to Y (Yes) and user makes an attribute selection, the Siebel Configurator engine updates the selection state of all the attribute values so that only selectable values are displayed. For example, if one of the values is excluded, it displays unavailable. Can cause performance reduction. This is the default.

When set to N (No), the Siebel Configurator engine does not update the selection state of the other attribute values and displays all the values as selectable. For example, if one of the values is excluded, it does not display unavailable. If users select an excluded value, they receive a conflict message.

Use this UI property when display of the selection state of attribute values is required.

Define on attributes with LOV domains only.

Resource

Y

Define on attributes only. When this property is set, the attribute value will be treated as engine picked, which works similar to a resource. This property is commonly used when an attribute is used as a counter that will not be changed directly by a user and that will be recalculated every time regardless what previous value or state is.

Default Group

The name of a valid group

This property specifies the default group loaded in the grandchild display.

Grandchild Enabled

Y

Define this property at the appropriate attribute group item level in order to show attributes in line with products in the grandchild display.

Grandchild Type

combo, text, radio

Define this property at the appropriate attribute group item level in order to show attribute in line with products in the grandchild display. This property specifies the type of attribute user-interface control to load.

MatchNewItemsInSolution

Y

When you have an asset with child products, and when you modify the asset and change its configuration, the engine might create a delta quote that removes child items, and then add child items again because of the constraint. This behavior might not be desired.

To keep the original instance in this case, set the property MatchNewItemsInSolution to Y on the root customizable product definition.

Grandchild Sequence

An integer greater than 0

This property is used to sort the grandchild attributes for display. Use it with the Grandchild Enabled property.

Configure the UI properties for all attributes with the names Grandchild Sequence and with the values as integers representing the sequence numbers. In the user interface, the attributes are shown in ascending order of the sequence set, using this UI property.
