Creating a Link Between Houses and Appraisals

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the House Detail - Appraisals View.

The relationship between Houses and Appraisals is one-to-many. For each house, there can be many appraisals. A link establishes this relationship between the Internal Products parent business component and the Appraisals child business component.

To create a link between houses and appraisals

1. Display the Row_Id field in the Internal Product business component:
   1. In the Object Explorer, click Business Component.
   2. In the Business Components list, locate the Internal Product business component.
   3. In the Object Explorer, expand the Business Component tree, and then click Field.
   4. In the Fields list, right-click, choose New Record, and then set the following properties.

      Property	Value
      Name	Row_Id
      Column	ROW_ID

      Before you can create the link, you must display the Row_Id field in the Internal Products business component. Siebel CRM uses this field to link with the Par Row Id field in the Appraisals business component.

2. Create a link:
   1. In the Object Explorer, click Link.
   2. In the Links list, right-click, and then choose the New Record menu item.
   3. Set the following properties.

      Property	Value
      Name	Internal Product/Appraisals
      Project	NREC Configuration
      Parent Business Component	Internal Product
      Child Business Component	Appraisals
      Source Field	Row_Id

      The Source Field establishes the primary key value in the parent table. The Destination Field establishes the foreign key value in the child table.
