Using the Attribute Inline Display Control in the HI Siebel Configurator User Interface

The Attribute Inline Display control allows you to display attributes of child products on the same Siebel Configurator selection page as the parent product. It is available only in the HI user interface.

The control is a form with attributes of the child product. You can click tabs at the top of the control to display forms for different child products.

For example, a parent product might be Mobile Package, a package of options for purchasing cell phone service. Child products might be Mobile Subscription Options, Price Plans, and Accessories. When the user displays the selection page for Mobile Package, the Attribute Inline Display Control has a series of tabs that the user can click to display the attributes for these child products.
