Siebel Assignment Manager Administration Guide > Assignment Object Configuration > Assignment Object Configuration Overview >

Configuring Assignment Objects

Each assignment object uses its own set of run-time parameters that control the behavior of Assignment Manager for that assignment object. These run-time parameters are stored in the Siebel repository in the assignment object definitions. You can use Siebel Tools to modify the default values for these run-time parameters.

NOTE:  The default values provided in the Siebel repository for different objects are provided as a guide and may not be applicable to your business requirements. Therefore, it is recommended you review the configuration of the predefined objects before using them.

TIP:   If modifying the parameters default employee, default position, or default organization, then make sure that the values specified exist in the appropriate base table. For example, if you change the default organization to My Organization, there must be an entry in the group administration organizations screen called My Organization.

To configure assignment objects

1. Start Siebel Tools.
2. Lock the project to which the assignment object belongs.
   1. In the Object Explorer, click the Types tab, and then select Project.
   2. In the Projects window, select the appropriate project.
   3. Check the Locked field.
3. In the Object Explorer, expand Workflow Policy Object, and select Assignment Object.

   TIP:   If Workflow Policy Object is not visible in the Object Explorer, you can enable it in the Development Tools Options dialog box (View > Options > Object Explorer).

4. In the Workflow Policy Objects window, select the assignment object that you want to configure.
5. In the Assignment Objects window, configure the assignment object by setting values in the appropriate fields for each run-time parameter.

   For a list of assignment object parameters and their default values, see Object Types Reference.

6. Update your deployment with the new configurations.

   For instructions, see Step 2 and Step 3 in the To update your deployment with new configurations procedure.

   NOTE:  It is not necessary to recompile the siebel.srf file when configuring an assignment object. For more information on when to recompile, see Table 20 and Using Siebel Tools.
