Specifying Sequential Line Numbers for New Records

The Sequence Field user property configures a sequence field to create a sequential line number when Siebel CRM creates a new record or copies a record. This user property must contain the name of the business component field that corresponds to the sequence number column that resides in the table that this business component references. This field is typically Line Number or Sequence Number. Note the following:

• The business object must reference a sequence business component.
• You must set the Insert Position property to LAST for each applet that displays a record from the numbered detail business component. If this user property is empty, then unexpected behavior might result in the line numbers that Siebel CRM creates in the applet.
• You must do other configuration work. For more information, see the topics that describe creating a sequence field in Configuring Siebel Business Applications.
