Field Control Buttons

The field control buttons shown in Table 3-1 appear in many fields. You use field controls to work with records in your Siebel application.

Table 3-1 Description of Field Control Buttons

Button	Name	Description	Related Topic
	Calculator button	Activates a currency calculator to assist you with calculating amounts.	"About the Currency Calculator"
	Calendar select button	Activates a calendar control for entering a date and optionally, time, in a date or date and time field. You can also type a date (or date and time) directly into a field. Date fields only allow you to enter dates between January 1, 1753 to January 19, 2038. If you enter an incorrect value in a date field, you will receive an error. For example, if you enter 221/45/1902, you will receive an error. Note: When you enter only two characters to represent a year, the Siebel application makes an assumption about whether the number specified should be preceded by 19 or 20 (19xx or 20xx). If the two numbers entered are greater than or equal to 50, the year is assumed to be 19xx. If the characters are less than 50, the year is assumed to be 20xx.	"About the Calendar Control"
