Specifying Field Name Prefixes for File Attachment Business Components

The DefaultPrefix user property specifies the unique field name prefix for each business component that Siebel CRM uses for file attachments. It must specify a string that Siebel CRM uses for the prefix in the names of the required fields that these business components contain. You do not enclose this value with quotes.

Each business component that Siebel CRM uses for file attachments includes a unique field name prefix. For example, the value of the DefaultPrefix user property for the Account Attachment business component is Accnt because the required fields for this business component are named AccntDockStatus, AccntFileDate, AccntFileName, and so on. For more information, see Table 9.

To create the entire field name for the required fields in any file attachment business component, a method uses the default prefix that this user property specifies. A method can use this prefix to access the required fields without using the literal name of each field.

You can modify the value for this user property. You cannot create more than one instance of this user property, and you cannot deactivate this user property.
