Configuring Signature Capture in Activities More Info View in Siebel Handheld


The following example provides detailed steps to configure signature capture in Activities More Info View in SIA Sales Handheld. The Activities More Info View has one applet 'SIS HH Activity Entry Applet - CE', which is based on the Action Business Component, which in turn is based on S_EVT_ACT Table. The following example shows how to configure a field within the Action Business Component called Signature, which is based on a new column created from S_EVT_ACT_X Table. To enable basic signature capture (for example, no header or footer), follow these steps:

  1. In Siebel Tools, add an extension column to the table S_EVT_ACT_X.
