Properties
Property
Description/Usage
Valid Values/Examples

Bounded (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value.

TRUE = Requires any value entered into a field bounded by the drop-down list to be among the drop-down list's values.

Business Component (R)

The name of the business component whose data makes up the list of valid values.

 

Long List (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value that specifies whether the Siebel application should attempt to position the cursor on the current value in a long list of values.

When you specify Long List = TRUE for a picklist list, the Siebel application does not keep focus on the current record.

A value of TRUE means that the picklist returns a large set of values, so to scroll through that list of values and position the cursor on the current value in the field could be very costly from a performance standpoint. For this reason, Long List does not keep focus.

TRUE = Recommendation is to set this attribute to TRUE if pick list is expected to contain more than 500 records.

Name (R)

The name of the picklist.

The name must be unique among picklists. All references to the picklist are made through its name.

The name can contain spaces.

No Delete (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value.

TRUE = Prevents the user from deleting an existing picklist value.

No Insert (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value.

TRUE = Prevents the user from inserting an existing picklist value.

No Merge (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value.

TRUE = Prevents the user from merging two existing picklist values into a single value.

No Update (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value.

TRUE = Prevents the user from changing an existing picklist value.

Search Specification (O)

The name of the search specification to use in addition to the business component's usual search specification.

 

Sort Specification (O)

The sort to apply for the picklist instead of the sort specification defined for the business component.

Unlike the search specification, this does replace the business component sort specification.

 

Static (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value.

TRUE = The pick list values come from a predefined list of values. These pick lists are called Static pick lists and they typically use PickList Generic and PickList Hierarchical business components. These business components display data entered by the administrator in the List of Values Administration Views. Static pick lists are rendered as drop-down menus in the interface. For more information, read "Hierarchical PickLists" in Siebel Developer's Reference.

FALSE - The pick list values come from the business component specified in the Business Component property. These pick lists are called dynamic pick lists. Dynamic pick lists are rendered with a pick applet (dialog box) in the interface.

Type Field (O)

The name of a picklist business component's field to use in retrieving a subset of records. This field name is used in conjunction with the Type Value property, which is used to identify the data value to use.

 

Type Value (O)

The data value to use in retrieving a subset of records. This value is used in conjunction with the Type Field property.

 

Visibility Auto All (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value.

TRUE =If user has access to any "All" views, then visibility for a pick list business component is All; otherwise visibility is determined by the Visibility Type property.

Visibility Type (O)

Determines the visibility type when the business component is used as a pick list. For more information, see Visibility Auto All.

Valid values are All, Catalog, Group, Manager, Organization, Personal, Sales Rep, and Sub-Organization.
