Viewing Object Definitions

You can view object definitions in the Object List Editor or the Properties window.

To view definitions in the Object List Editor

  1. In the Object Explorer (Types tab), select the parent type object whose definition you want to view.
  2. Expand the tree to view the child object type, if one exists.
  3. View the object definition in the Object List Editor.

Figure 28 shows the field-level definition for the Contact business component, as displayed in the Object List Editor windows. The top applet shows the Buscomp Contact, and the bottom applet shows the fields.

The Properties window also displays (in alphabetical order) the definition of the selected object—the value is shown next to the property name.

By default, the Properties window is closed when you start Siebel Tools.

To open it so you can view an object definition, choose View >Windows > Properties Window.
