Siebel Project and Resource Management Administration Guide > Time Reporting and Time Sheets > Administrator Procedures for Time Reporting and Time Sheets > About Dynamic ButtonsA dynamic button is a button whose availability depends on the currently selected view. It is activated based on the state of the currently selected record, as defined in the Siebel State Model. For information about using the State Model, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide. Various Time Sheet views in your Siebel application contain dynamic buttons. The buttons are used in the time sheet approval process. By default, these buttons are labelled Submit, Approve, Process, Recall, and Reject. You can configure the following properties of these dynamic buttons:
This section explains how to make each of these configuration changes. Because dynamic buttons are managed as List of Values (LOV) entries, you can reconfigure them without using Siebel Tools. NOTE: Standard dynamic button configurations are included in the seed data that comes with your Siebel application. If you do not use Siebel seed data in your implementation, you must either recreate the standard dynamic button configurations or load the configurations from the seed data into your system. For information about working with seed data, see the Siebel Server installation guide for the operating system you are using. Changing the Names of Dynamic Buttons for Time SheetsThe following procedure explains how to change the name that is displayed on a dynamic button. To change the name of a dynamic button for time sheets

It is appropriate for new views that are reached directly from the Site Map, the Show drop-down list, or a screen tab. To add dynamic buttons for time sheets to new views
Specifying Inheritance of Dynamic Buttons for a New Detail View for Time SheetsThe following procedure is appropriate for views that are reached by clicking view tabs (including the More Info tab) or by clicking a hyperlink in a list. LOV records of type TMSHT_DYNAMIC_BT are modified in the dynamic button procedures discussed in the preceding paragraphs. LOV records of type TMSHT_DETAIL_VIEWS also affect dynamic buttons in time sheets. TMSHT_DETAIL_VIEWS records specify the views that inherit dynamic buttons from a related view. For example, if you navigate to the My Time Sheets view, Submit and Recall buttons are displayed on both the Time Sheets list and the More Info form. If you click the Line Items view tab, a Time Sheet form and a Line Items list appear. The Time Sheet form displays Submit and Recall buttons that it has inherited from the My Time Sheets view. This inheritance is specified by placing the value "%Time Sheet Line Items Summary View%Time Sheet Line Items Detail View%" in the description field of a TMSHT_DETAILS_VIEW LOV record. The following procedure explains how to specify dynamic button inheritance for a new detail view. To specify detail views to inherit dynamic buttons for time sheets
