Adding or Deleting Fields in an Existing View

---

All the data collected in views used in the seed self-registration workflow processes are written to fields in the User Registration business component. The following process describes how data is collected in the user interface and written to a user's record in the database:

The user enters data, such as the user's height, into a text box on a form.
The form field is mapped to a virtual field, for example Vheight, in the User Registration business component, so the data is written directly to that field.
Self-registration data collection is done in the User Registration SubProcess. A process property, for example Vheight, of the User Registration SubProcess maps to the Vheight virtual field. Therefore, the virtual field value populates the process property.

The virtual field and the process property can have the same name, and this naming convention makes it easier to track the mapping.

The Vheight process property serves as output from the User Registration SubProcess to its parent, the User Registration process. The posting happens only after the User Registration SubProcess is complete, that is, when the user has successfully completed the registration forms.

The output is mapped to a process property in the User Registration Process, such as, again, Vheight by convention. Process properties from different workflow processes, even parent and child, can have the same name.

The process property in User Registration Process, Vheight in this example, maps to a field in the database, such as Height. Because the User Registration business component writes to the same database tables as the User business component, each field is actually stored as part of a user record.

Except for some Siebel partner-specific data, no data from the User Registration Process properties is written to the User Registration business component fields until the self-registration process is complete.

To add or delete fields in a view used in a self-registration workflow process, you must perform tasks in the following stages:

Siebel Tools tasks
Siebel Workflow (Business Process Designer) tasks
