Wizards

Various wizards in Siebel Tools step you through the process of creating and configuring an object definition of a particular object type and style—for example, a Siebel applet.

Wherever a wizard exists for a particular task in Siebel Tools, you can choose to use it or not:

If you do not use the wizard, you can create and change property settings for object definitions directly in the Object List Editor. (Dock objects are the exception.)

If you use the wizard, it asks you for your preferences, and then bases property settings on them.

The wizards available in Siebel Tools are shown in Table 7.

To access the new object wizards

Choose File > New Object from the Siebel Tools main menu. Icons for all the new object wizards appear in the New Object dialog box (shown in the figure below). You choose either the General, Applets, or EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) tab to access the appropriate wizard.

NOTE: Some specialized wizards are not accessible from this dialog box (for example, the Application Wizard, the Web Client Migration Wizard, the EIM Table Mapping Wizard, and the Docking Wizard).

When you click on the type of new object you want to create, the Siebel wizard guides you through the task of entering the properties that type of object requires.

Figure 14 shows the Siebel List Applet Wizard.

NOTE: To access the EIM Table Mapping Wizard and the Dock Object Wizard, right-click entries in the Object List Editor as explained in Adding Custom Extensions to the Data Model. You access the Web Migration Wizard from Tools > Upgrade > Web Client Migration menu.
