Extending the Siebel Database for a Signature Capture Control

Before you can implement a signature capture control, you must extend the Siebel database to create a field in which to store the signature data.

This task is a step in Roadmap for Implementing Signature Capture.

To extend the Siebel database

1. In Siebel Tools, open the project in which you want to implement the signature capture control.
2. Select the table that supports the business component to which you want to add the signature capture control.
3. Add an extension column of type LONG to the table.

   For more information about how to add a LONG column, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

4. To apply the new column, click the Apply/DDL button in the Object List Editor.
5. To activate the new column, click the Activate button.

   For more information about how to apply and activate database extensions, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

6. Create a new field in the business component that is supported by the table that you selected in Step 2.

   For example, create a field called AA Signature.

7. Map the field to the column that you added in Step 3.
