Configuring New Dock Objects for Time Filtering

Beginning with Siebel release 7.7, the time filtering feature allows you to prevent synchronization of older data for specified dock objects. For information about the dock objects for which time filtering is supported by default, see Preventing Extraction and Synchronization of Older Data.

It is possible to configure additional dock objects to use time filtering. However, for many Siebel implementations, most of the benefits that time filtering provides will come from using the dock objects that are supported by default. The following procedure describes how to make time filtering available for a non-default dock object.

NOTE:  The following procedure is a particular example of adding a new value to a List of Values (LOV). For general information about working with LOVs, see Applications Administration Guide.

To make time filtering available for a non-default dock object

1. In Siebel Tools, navigate to the Dock Object Type, find the dock object for which you want to use time filtering, and make a note of its exact name.
2. Log in to the Siebel application using an administrator user ID, and then, from the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Data > List of Values.
3. In the List of Values list, use standard query techniques to display existing records that have the value DOCK_OBJ_TIME_FILTER in the Type field.
4. Select any one of these records, click the Menu button, and select Copy Record.
5. In the Language-Independent Code field of the new record, enter the exact name of the dock object for which you want to use time filtering.
6. In the Display Value field of the new record, enter the name you would like your Siebel applications to display when you set up time filtering for this dock object.
7. Inspect the copied values in the other fields of the new record, make any necessary changes, and save the record.

   Time filtering is now available for the specified dock object. For information about setting up time filtering for this dock object, see Preventing Extraction and Synchronization of Older Data.
