Assignment Manager Object Hierarchy and Relationship
Use the Object Explorer in Siebel Tools to view the hierarchical (parent-child) relationships of Assignment Manager object types. Figure 11 illustrates the hierarchical relationships of these object types (and two related object types in Workflow Manager configuration).
Figure 11 shows the following relationships:
- Assignment object is a child of workflow policy object.
- Assignment attribute column is a child of assignment attribute.
- Assignment criteria attribute is a child of assignment criteria.
In addition to the parent-child relationships between Assignment Manager object types, there are one-to-one and one-to-many relationships specified in property settings within the object definitions, as illustrated in Figure 12.
Figure 12 shows the following relationships:
- Assignment rules (the box with a dashed border at the upper left) have assignment criteria children. Assignment rules are actually records of the Assignment Group business component, and their child assignment criteria are records of the Assignment Rule business component.
- Each assignment rule points to one or more assignment object definitions, stored in a multi-value (MLOV) group attached to the Assignment Objects field in the assignment rule (Assignment Group business component) record.
NOTE: If an assignment rule does not specify an assignment object, this means that it applies to assignment objects.
- Each assignment criteria record points to an assignment criteria object definition, by means of the value in the Criteria field.
- Assignment attributes are attached to an assignment object through a property setting in each assignment attribute column object definition.
- An assignment attribute column object definition is mapped to a workflow policy component column object definition by means of a pair of property settings.
