Example of Configuring Signature Capture in Activities More Info View in Siebel Handheld Applications

The following example provides detailed steps to configure signature capture in Activities More Info View in the SIA Siebel Sales Handheld application. The Activities More Info View has one applet 'SIS HH Activity Entry Applet - CE', which is based on the Action Business Component, which in turn is based on S_EVT_ACT Table. The following example shows how to configure a field within the Action Business Component called Signature, which is based on a new column created from the S_EVT_ACT_X Table.

To enable basic signature capture (for example, no header or footer), follow these steps:

1. In Siebel Tools, add an extension column to the table S_EVT_ACT_X.

   For this Field	Add This Value
   Name	SIGNATURE
   User Name	Signature
   Type	Extension
   Nullable	TRUE
   Physical Type	Long
   Length	0
   Cascade Clear	Ignore
   Transaction Log Code	TRUE
   Status	Active
   Sequence	999
   Comments	Extension Column for Activity Signature Capture

2. Add a field to Action the business component with the following values:

   For this Field	Add This Value
   Name	Signature
   Join	X_EVT_ACT_X
   Column	SIGNATURE
   Text Length	16,383
   Type	DTYPE_NOTE
   Comments	Custom Field added for Signature Capture

3. Add a control to the applet. For this example, you add the control to the 'SIS HH Activity Entry Applet - CE'.

   For this Field	Add This Value
   Name	Signature
   Caption	Signature
   Caption String Reference	SBL_SIGNATURE-1005113048-35Y
   Field	Signature
   HTML Display Mode	EncodeData
   HTML Row Sensitivity	TRUE
   HTML Type	Field
   Runtime	TRUE
   Text Alignment	Left
   Visible	TRUE
   Comments	Custom control added to display and invoke Signature Capture.

4. Add two Control User Properties to the new 'Signature' control with the following values:

   User Property Name	Value
   Signature	Y
   Show Data	Y

5. Add the new control to the Edit Web Template for SIS HH Activity Entry Applet - CE.

You can now invoke the signature capture dialog box by tapping the ellipsis points (...) on the signature field of the applet.
