Finding the Dock Object for a Business Component

---

Dock objects are provided for standard Siebel applications. Review the standard dock objects and associated visibility rules thoroughly to see if they satisfy a desired visibility change.

Some important business components and their associated dock objects are shown in Table 34.

Table 34. Important Business Components and Their Dock Objects

Business Component	Dock Object	Primary Table	Visibility Level
Action	Activity	S_EVT_ACT	Limited
Account	Party	S_PARTY	Limited
Asset Mgmt - Asset	Asset	S_ASSET	Limited
Contact	Party	S_PARTY	Limited
Employee	Party	S_PARTY	Limited
Opportunity	Opportunity	S_OPTY	Limited
Position	Party	S_PARTY	Limited
Internal Product	Product	S_PROD_INT	Limited
Service Request	ServiceRequest	S_SRV_REQ	Limited

NOTE:  Although the Employee and Position records are represented by the Party dock object, which is of Limited visibility, the employee and position records themselves have Enterprise visibility, based on SQL Rule type rules within the Party dock object.

To determine the dock object to which a business component belongs

In the Object Explorer, select the Business Component object, and then query for the desired business component.
Note the Table property of the business component.

For example, the base table of Opportunity is S_OPTY.

In the Object Explorer, select the Flat tab, select the Dock Object object, and then query in the Dock Object Table field for the table.

If the table belongs to a dock object, that dock object will be listed. For example, the dock object to which the Opportunity business component belongs is Opportunity.
