Creating a Multi-Value Group


You use the Multi-Value Group Wizard to define a multi-value group. This wizard helps you define the objects that Siebel CRM requires for a multi-value group. For more information see Multi-Value Group, Multi-Value Link, and Multi-Value Group Applet and How Siebel CRM Creates a Multi-Value Group.

  2. In the New Object Wizards dialog box, in the General Tab, click MVG, and then click OK.
  3. In the Multi Value Group dialog box, choose the following:
    1. The project that the multi-value group references. Only locked projects are available.
