How This Book Indicates Computer Code and Variables

Computer font indicates a value that you enter or text that Siebel CRM displays. For example:

This is computer font

Italic text indicates a variable value. For example, the n and the method_name in the following syntax description are variables:

Named Method n: method_name

The following is an example of this code:

Named Method 2: WriteRecord

How This Book Indicates Code That You Can Use as a Variable and Literal

You can write some code as a literal or a variable. For example, the Home method sets a record in the current set of records as the active row. It uses the following syntax:

busComp.Home();

where:

• busComp identifies the business component that contains the record that Home sets.

You can use busComp as a literal or a variable. If you declare busComp as a variable in some other section of code, and if it contains a value of Account when you use the Home method, then Home sets a record in the Account business component as the active record. You can also use the following code, which also sets a record in the Account business component as the active record:

Account.Home();

Case Sensitivity in Code Examples

The code examples in this book use standard JavaScript and HTML format for uppercase and lowercase characters. It is recommended that you use the following case sensitivity rules that this book uses:

• All code that occurs outside of a set of double quotation marks (" ") is case sensitive. The only exception to this rule occurs with path and file names.
• All code that occurs inside a set of angle brackets (<>) is case sensitive. The only exception to this rule is any code that you enclose with a set of double quotation marks that you nest inside a set of angle brackets.

The following example is valid:

function RecycleBinPModel(){
  SiebelAppFacade.RecycleBinPModel.superclass.constructor.apply(this, arguments);
}

The following example is not valid. Bold font indicates the code that is not valid:

function Recyclebinpmodel(){
  SiebelAppFacade.RecycleBinPModel.superclass.constructor.apply(this, arguments);
}
