Siebel Tools Tasks for Adding or Deleting Fields

---

To add a field to one of the views used in the self-registration workflow processes, you must use Siebel Tools to do one or more steps of the following procedure.

This procedure is intended to list the major tasks required. For detailed information about modifying views and applets, see Siebel Tools Reference.

To add a field to a view used in a self-registration workflow process

Open Siebel Tools.
Lock the User Registration project.
Determine the business component and the underlying database table on which the new field is based.
If the new field is not based on an existing database table column, define a column on an extension table of the appropriate table.
Create a new field, based on the new or existing table column, in the appropriate business component.
If the new field is based on the User Registration business component, create a new virtual field in the business component.
Create the field in the business component as you would any field. The naming convention used for existing virtual fields is to prefix the name with a "V", such as "Vheight."
Set the new field's Calculated property to TRUE.
Configure the appropriate applet to expose the new virtual field.
If necessary, configure the new field so that a self-registering user is required to complete it.

For information about configuring a required field, see Redefining Required Fields.

Recompile the Siebel repository file, and unlock the User Registration project.

To remove a field from the self-registration user interface, you do not have to delete the field from the applet in which it appears. Instead, configure the applet so that the field is not exposed. For detailed information about configuring applets, see Siebel Tools Reference.
