Creating an Object

You can use a wizard to create an object or you can create it manually. It is recommended that you use a wizard. For example, to create a new business component, you use the Business Component Wizard. A wizard guides you while you configure a new object. It prompts you for the required property values and automatically configures any required child objects. If a wizard is not available for the object type you must create, then you can create it manually in the Object List Editor. For more information about using wizards and creating objects, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.
