Guidelines for Configuring Integration Objects

After you create your integration object you can configure it based on your business requirements. The following is a list of guidelines for configuring an integration object:

• In Siebel Tools, inactivate the fields that do not apply to your business requirements.
• If necessary, activate the fields that have been inactivated by the Siebel Wizard. For information, see Integration Objects.
• Add the fields that have not been included by the Siebel Wizard, including custom integration component fields. For information on the implications of adding or activating such fields, see the following topics:
  • Custom Integration Component Fields
