Adding Fields to the Basic Mapping to Support Static Picklists

This task is a step in Process of Creating Custom Static Picklists.

In this topic you add a field to the basic mapping to support a static picklist.

To add a field to the basic mapping to support a static picklist

1. Use an XML editor to open the siebel_basic_mapping.xml file.
2. Locate the following object:

   id="Opportunity"

3. Add the following code immediately following the code line you located in Step 2:

   <field id="JVD Simple">
     <reader>
         <mapi_user>
           <user_field id="sbl JVD Simple" ol_field_type="1"></user_field>
           <convertor>
             <string/>
           </convertor>
         </mapi_user>
       </reader>
     <writer>
       <Outlook_user>
         <user_field id="sbl JVD Simple" ol_field_type="1"></user_field>
         <convertor>
           <string/>
         </convertor>
       </Outlook_user>
     </writer>
   </field>

   where:

   • field id identifies the name of the integration component field you defined in Step 7.
   • user_field id identifies the custom field in Outlook where Siebel CRM Desktop stores the field value. It is recommended that you use sbl as the first three characters for this field Id. For example, sbl JVD Simple.
