Hiding Siebel CRM Fields

The example in this topic describes how to hide the Opportunity field so that Siebel CRM Desktop does not display it in the client.

To hide Siebel CRM fields

1. Remove the following objects from the Ln_connector_configuration.xml file:
   • Remove all child objects, such as Opportunity.Contact.Association.
   • Remove all association objects, such as Opportunity.Contact.Association.
   • Remove links to opportunities that exist in the links and natural_keys sections.
2. Remove the following objects from the Ln_siebel_basic_mapping.xml file:
   • Remove all child objects, such as Opportunity.Contact.Association.
   • Remove all association objects, such as Opportunity.Contact.Association.
   • Remove links to opportunities from objects that include fields that are similar to OpportunityId.
3. Remove the following controls for this Opportunity object from the (SBL)form:opportunity design form:
   • Remove embedded folders from forms that display opportunities and objects that are related to opportunities.
   • Remove lookup controls and autocomplete controls from other forms that reference the Opportunity object.
4. Remove related actions from the views action bars.

In the SBL.BusinessLogic script library, remove the following definitions where CRM Desktop uses this Opportunity object:

• AddMVGLink
• AddDirectLink

  You can remove other code that affects opportunities, but this code must not affect other CRM Desktop functionality.
