Custom Views Tag of the siebel_basic_mapping.xml File

The custom_views tag defines a set of custom Microsoft Outlook views that Siebel CRM Desktop applies for the object that is defined in the type tag. The default_name attribute sets the default view that Siebel CRM Desktop applies after the installation.

Siebel CRM Desktop includes the following tags in the custom_views tag:

• view. Describes each view. Each view tag includes the following attributes:
  • id. Defines the ID of the view. The view is described in the views.xml file.
  • name. Defines the name of the view that is specified in the id attribute to display in the Current view menu. To access this menu in Microsoft Outlook, the user chooses the View menu, Arrange By, and then the Current view menu.

The following code is an example of the custom_views tag:

<custom_views default_name="All Activities">

<view id="all_activities" name="All Activities"></view>

<view id="all_activities_by_duedate" name="Activities by Due Date"></view>

<view id="all_activities_by_owner" name=" Activities by Owner"></view>

<view id="all_activities_by_priority" name="Activities by Priority"></view>

</custom_views>
