Hierarchy of Object Types and Relationships

Siebel CRM builds an object that resides in an upper layer on top of an object that resides in a lower layer. For example, an applet references a business component, a view references a business object, and a field references a column.

Figure 2 describes the relationships that exist between the major object types that Siebel CRM uses.
