Siebel Product Administration Guide > Product and Promotion Eligibility and Compatibility > Defining How Eligibility Output DisplaysEligibility is checked before the product or promotion is displayed in a catalog, Product picklist, or elsewhere in the interface. Eligibility information is displayed when you select products to add to quotes, orders, or agreements. You can define how this information is displayed by setting the Eligibility Display Mode parameter value. Setting this value controls the Eligibility and Compatibility procedure which dictates the behavior of eligibility and compatibility as follows:
You can set the Eligibility Display Mode parameter value at various levels in your application. For example, you can choose to set the parameter value from the Enterprise, Server or Object Manager level. You can also set the value at the applet, workflow call, or at the data service API level. The Eligibility and Compatibility procedure looks for the display mode value in the following locations and in the following order:
Eligibility Display Options for CatalogsIn catalogs, there are three options for how eligibility information is displayed:
If customers are eligible for only a small percentage of the total products, then choosing the Hide Products option gives slower performance than the Show Products with Comments option. This is because a large number of records must be read before enough records are found to fill a page. This performance trade-off must be considered when selecting the Display Mode during implementation design. Eligibility Display in Siebel ConfiguratorIn Siebel Configurator, if the customer is ineligible to buy the product, then the application displays an error message if the user selects the product. The user can click Undo to undo the selection that caused the error, or select Proceed to go ahead with the configuration using the ineligible product. If the user selects Proceed, Siebel Configurator adds this error message to its message list. NOTE: In addition to being set in the applet, the eligibility setting can be set by a workflow or by a server parameter. Siebel Configurator also enforces the value set for the Display Mode parameter. If this parameter is set not to show ineligible products, then the ineligible products are not in the configuration session, and the user cannot choose them.
