Siebel CRM uses the following objects to construct a multi-value group applet:
Example of Objects Siebel CRM Uses to Construct a Multi-Value Group AppletTable 57 describes some of the objects that Siebel CRM uses to construct a multi-value group applet for the Account Address Mvg Applet. Originating Applet of a Multi-Value GroupThe originating applet contains the control or list column that calls the multi-value group applet. The Business Component property of the originating applet identifies the parent business component. The originating control or list column is a child of the originating applet. Table 58 describes the important properties of the originating control or list column.
Parent Business Component of a Multi-Value GroupThe parent business component is the business component of the originating applet. Siebel CRM obtains the data values that are included in the originating field and other multi-value fields from corresponding fields in a record in the child business component that the multi-value group references. The primary is the record from which Siebel CRM obtains these values. The parent business component does not include any properties that are required to define a multi-value group. However, the field and multi-value link child objects are significant. The originating field is the field defined in the Field property of the originating control or list column. Other than the relationship with the originating control, the role of the originating field is identical to that of the other multi-value fields that share the multi-value link. For more information, see About the Multi-Value Field. About the MVF Pick MapYou can use a pick map for a multi-value field similarly to how you use it for a single-value field. The MVF pick map is an object type that is a child of a multi-value field. Each pick map defines a relationship between a field in the child business component that the multi-value group references and one in the originating business component. If the user chooses a record, then these relationships provide the information that Siebel CRM requires to update the record in the parent business component with information from the multi-value group business component. Table 59 describes important properties of the MVF pick map. The State multi-value field of the Account business component is an example of how Siebel CRM uses the MVF pick map. The Account business component includes a multi-value link to the Business Address business component, where it obtains address information. For more information, see About Multi-Value Links, and About Links. Child Business Component of a Multi-Value GroupThe child business component of a multi-value group stores the child records of the parent-child relationship with the parent business component. Siebel CRM derives the records that it displays in the multi-value group applet from the child business component. The child business component includes no important properties with respect to defining a multi-value group. It includes child field objects that Siebel CRM uses in the following ways:
