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 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 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 forms_xx.xml file:
   • Remove view controls 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 toolbar buttons from the toolbars_xx.xml file.

   The button Id or an action contains the name of this object. For example, new_opportunity or email_to_team_opportunity.

In the business_logic.js file, remove the following definitions where CRM Desktop uses this Opportunity object:

• add_mvg_link
• add_direct_link

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