Custom Views Tag of the Siebel Basic Mapping File

The custom_views tag defines a set of custom Outlook views that Siebel CRM Desktop applies for the object that the type tag defines. The default_name attribute sets the default view that CRM Desktop applies after the installation.

CRM Desktop includes the following tags in the custom_views tag:

• view. Describes each view. Each view tag includes the following attributes:
  • id. Defines the ID of the view. The view is described in the views.xml file.
  • name. Defines the name of the view that the id attribute specifies to display in the Current view menu. To access this menu in Outlook, the user chooses the View menu, Arrange By, and then the Current view menu.

The following code is an example of the custom_views tag:

<custom_views default_name="All Activities">
  <view id="all_activities" name="All Activities"></view>
  <view id="all_activities_by_duedate" name="Activities by Due Date"></view>
  <view id="all_activities_by_owner" name=" Activities by Owner"></view>
  <view id="all_activities_by_priority" name="Activities by Priority"></view></custom_views>
