Assignment Manager Object Types

The following object types are specific to Assignment Manager and can be configured using Siebel Tools:

• Assignment Object. Assignment objects are assigned to assignment rules in the Objects to be Assigned field of assignment rule records. An assignment object specifies a business entity to which a candidate can be assigned, what is updated to accomplish that assignment, and other assignment behavior parameters.
• Assignment Attribute. An assignment attribute object definition defines an attribute that can be referenced in assignment criteria records. It specifies a logical attribute that can be chosen from a picklist for defining comparisons.
• Assignment Attribute Column. An assignment attribute column object definition assigns an assignment attribute to an assignment object and a workflow policy component column. These mappings set up value matching within the assignment object and workflow policy object.
• Assignment Criteria. An assignment criteria object definition encapsulates multiple assignment attributes. Assignment criteria appear in the picklist in the Criteria list column when you are editing an assignment rule record.
• Assignment Criteria Attribute. An assignment criteria attribute lists the assignment attributes that are part of an assignment criterion. Assignment criteria attributes make it possible for an assignment criteria to consist of multiple attributes, and as such, are known as composite criteria.
