Auto Primary
The AutoPrimary property determines the setting of a primary child record for a given parent record. If necessary, the Auto Primary property also determines the default value of the primary selection. The possible values for Auto Primary are as follows:
- DEFAULT. The first record automatically becomes the primary.
- NONE. You must manually specify the primary using the MVG applet.
- SELECTED. Selecting a primary on one MVL causes the selection of a primary on the others. For example, as soon as a primary Shipping Address is indicated, it also becomes the primary Billing Address.
SELECTED applies only when there are several multivalue links from one business component that all point to the same detail business component. This is the case for the Bill To Business Address and Ship To Business Address multivalue links in a standard Siebel Sales application. These multivalue links exist under both the Quote and Account business components. In this case, an example of the desired behavior is as follows:
- If you do not set a primary for the Bill To address, then do a separate query to bring back all addresses associated with the account (or order), and check to see whether one of the addresses was selected as primary for the Ship To address. If an address is already selected as primary, the SELECT (that is, set) is used and that address is also used as the primary Bill To address.
