This topic describes how to create a business object. For more information, see Guidelines for Creating a Business Object.

To create a business object

1. In Siebel Tools, click Business Object in the Object Explorer.
2. In the Business Objects list, create a new record using values from the following table.

   Property	Description
   Name	Enter a name for the business object that is unique among business objects in the Siebel repository. Siebel CRM uses the name to reference the business object.
   Query List Business Component	The default value is Query List. It identifies the business component that stores predefined queries for the business object.
   Primary Business Component	You cannot define this property until after you define the business object components.

3. In the Object Explorer, expand the Business Object tree, and then click Business Object Component.
4. In the Business Object Components list, create a new record using values from the following table.

   Property	Description
   Bus Comp	Choose the business component that the business object references.
   Link	Optional. Create a link relationship between two business components.

5. Repeat Step 4 for each business component that you must reference in the business object. You must define each of the following business components as a business object component:
   • Any business component whose data displays in an applet on a view that references the business object
   • Any business component whose data Siebel CRM exports in a report from a view that references the business object
6. Define the Primary Business Component property, as described in Step 2.
