Creating a Radio Button Group
The user can use the radio button group to make a choice in a task UI. The input that the radio button receives can determine the next step of a task, or it can determine the data that Siebel CRM gets and then displays in the subsequent task view. For more information, see Radio Button Group. To create a radio button group
- In Siebel Tools, create a field on the business component that supplies data for the radio button group.
- Optional. Define a predefault value for the field you created in Step 1.
For more information, see Defining the Default Value for a Radio Button Group.
- In the Object Explorer, click Pick List.
- In the Picklists list, right-click, and then choose New Pick List Wizard.
- Follow the prompts in the New Pick List Wizard, define the Pick List, and then choose or define the LOV.
- Make sure the Business Component property of the new picklist is set to PickList Generic.
- Configure the business component field you defined in Step 1 to reference the picklist:
- In the Object Explorer, click Business Component.
- In the Business Components list, query the Name property for the business component.
- In the Object Explorer, expand the Business Component tree, and then click Field.
- In the Fields list, query the Name property for the field.
- In the Picklist property, choose the new picklist.
- In the Object Explorer, click Applet.
- In the Applets list, query the Name property for the applet where you must add the radio button group.
Siebel CRM cannot display a radio button group in a list applet. If you define a radio button group in a list applet, then Siebel CRM displays a radio button as a text entry field in the Siebel client.
- In the Object Explorer, expand the Applet tree, and then click Control.
- In the Controls list, create a new control using values from the following table.
|
|
Name |
Enter text that describes the control. |
Field |
Choose the field that you defined for the radio button group. |
HTMLType |
Choose RadioButton. |
Defining the Default Value for a Radio Button Group
Setting a default value for a radio button group allows you to set the choice that Siebel CRM displays in this group. Setting the default value for a radio button group is optional. If you set a default value, then make sure you choose the default value carefully. If you do not explicitly define a default value, then Siebel CRM displays the first value that the LOV lists in alphabetic, ascending order. To define the default value for a radio button group
- In the Object Explorer, click Business Component.
- In the Business Components list, query the Name property for the business component that the applet references.
- In the Object Explorer, expand the Business Component tree, and then click Field.
- In the Fields list, query the Name property for the field that supplies data to the radio button group.
- In the Predefault Value property, define the default value for the radio button group.
Only one default value can exist for a radio button group.
