Process of Adding an MVG Field

This topic gives one example of how to add an MVG field. You might use this feature differently, depending on your business model. It includes the following topics:

To add an MVG field, you do the following:

1. Identifying Predefined MVG Objects in Siebel CRM
2. Process of Making Siebel CRM Data Available to Add an MVG
3. Process of Modifying the Customization Package to Add an MVG
4. Publishing and Testing a Custom MVG Field

An MVG field displays an association with other objects. This association can be a many to many association, or a many to one association. The user can use an MVG field to do the following:

• Add or remove an association
• Change a primary association
• Browse existing associations

You can also use an MVG to economize the layout of a form. You can display a set of associated records in a single-line control instead of using the outlook_view control.

In this example, you add an MVG control to the Opportunity form. This MVG displays an association between an opportunity and channel partners.
