Configuring Distributor Names in Siebel Pharma Handheld

The name of the company appears by default on the Siebel Signature Capture display. You may need to change this name if, for example, there is a name change as a result of a merger between two companies.

In addition, a company may use a contract sales force to distribute some of its products. You can use the Distributor by Employee feature to customize the display to show the name of the contract distributor for the contract sales representatives and to show the name of the primary pharmaceutical company for its sales representatives.

To change the distributor name in the Siebel Signature Capture display

1. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Application Administration > System Preferences.

   The System Preferences Administration view appears.

2. Find the Company Name system preference and change the value to the new company name.

   When the sales reps next synchronize their PDAs, the new company name is downloaded to their Siebel Pharma Handheld applications.

3. From the application-level menu, select Navigate > Site Map > User Administration > Employees.

   The Employees Administration view appears.

4. Select the employee from the Employees list.
5. In the More Info view, enter the account of the distributor in the External Account field. (The external account must already have been set up as an account.)

   If the External Account field is blank for an employee, the company name set in the System Preference Administration view, set in Step 2, is used.

6. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 for each employee of the distributor.
