Find Field
A find field adds a search field to the Find dialog box that Siebel CRM displays in the client. This object type occurs in the following location in the object hierarchy:
- Siebel Objects > Find > Find Field
Table 123 describes properties that Siebel CRM uses with a find field.
Table 123. Properties of the Find Field
|
|
Display In Entry (O) |
Specifies a TRUE or FALSE value. |
Display In Results (O) |
Specifies a TRUE or FALSE value. |
Display Name (O) |

Drilldown Business Component |
Specifies the business component of the search result record that Siebel CRM queries in the destination view. This property allows you to configure separate drilldowns on the various fields in the Find Results applet. |
Drilldown Destination Field |
Specifies the field in the destination business component whose value equals the value of the source field in the source business component. This property allows you to configure separate drilldowns on the various fields in the Find Results applet. If you do not specify a value in the Drilldown Source Field property, then do not specify a value in the Drilldown Destination Field property. The value you enter in the Drilldown Destination Field property is valid only for Find results. |
Drilldown Source Field |
Specifies the field in the source business component whose value equals the value of the field in the destination business component. This property allows you to configure separate drilldowns on the various fields in the Find Results applet. The value you enter in the Drilldown Source Field property is valid only for Find results. |
Drilldown View |
Specifies the view where Siebel CRM displays the search result record if the user drills down. This property allows you to configure separate drilldowns on the various fields in the Find Results applet. |
Field (R) |
Specifies the field that Siebel CRM searches in the business component. |
Name (R) |
Specifies the name of the search field. |
Sequence (O) |
Specifies the order that Siebel CRM uses to position this find field in the list of fields that it displays in the Find dialog box for the parent find object definition. The Sequence property can contain only an integer. |
Sequence - Language Override (O) |
Specifies to modify the Sequence property if a language or locale is active. The Sequence - Language Override property can contain only an integer. |
Title (O) |

Configuring the Field for a Find Field
The field that you specify in a find field must exist in the business component that the applet references for the find object definition. Configuring Query For the Find Dialog Box
The configuration of the Find dialog box and the configuration of a query by example might be different for a multivalue field. The Find dialog box uses the same query that an EXISTS query on a field in a query by example uses. To verify this configuration, you can use an Exists expression in the query by example. For example: Exists (Aga*)
Query by example supports each type of querying, but to keep the Find dialog box simple, Siebel CRM uses a query that works in all situations. If your implementation must not use the EXISTS configuration in the Find dialog box, then you can do the following:
- Create a join from the primary ID field for the multivalue link to the table that contains the data.
- Add a field on the table that you joined in Step 1.
- Configure the find field to reference the field you added in Step 2.
