Creating Records

You can create a record from different areas within Siebel Mobile applications using the New (plus) icon or the Add (check mark) icon. When you create records, note the following about data entry:

• You can enter information directly into some fields, or select values from a drop-down list.
• When you tap some fields, another dialog box is displayed from which you can select values or enter values.
• For some fields that already have a value, you can tap an icon to the right of the field to display a window from which you can select values or enter values. The icons that you can tap are as follows:
  • Phone icon. Tap this icon to enter a contact telephone number in an iPad or to place a call to the number on iPhone.
  • Email icon. Tap this icon to start the native email client on your mobile device, which opens with an email addressed to the email address in this field.
  • Pin icon. Tap this icon to display location details. For more information, see Displaying Location Details.
  • URL icon. Tap this icon to navigate to the destination address of the Web site in a new browser window.
• A star icon beside a field name indicates that the field is a required field.
