Object Definitions, Value Types, and Naming Conventions


Object definitions can have the following value types:

Example.

A field has the following values:

     Name: Account Products

     Text Length: 500

     Read Only: FALSE

     Type: DTYPE_TEXT

     Column: PROD

As illustrated in the prior example, standard Siebel objects follow these naming conventions:

NOTE:  Always prefix the names of new objects with a meaningful text string.
For example, if your company name is XYZ Industrial Products, Inc. you might prefix the name of new objects with XYZ. You will find it a valuable convention during both development and upgrade.

For more information about naming objects, see Configuration Guidelines.
