Creating a Custom Task UI
The Task Wizard helps you define the minimal set of properties that a task UI requires. For more information about task properties that Siebel Tools automatically defines when you create a new task object, see About the Task Property. To create a custom task UI
- In Siebel Tools, choose the File menu, and then the New Object menu item.
- In the New Object Wizards dialog box, click the Task tab.
You can also right-click in the Tasks list, and then choose New Task Wizard to start the Task Wizard.
- Choose the Task icon, and then click OK.
- Use the wizard to create a new task UI:
- Define a project for the task UI.
- Define the name and display name for the task UI.
Siebel CRM displays this display name in the task pane in the Siebel client.
- Indicate if the task UI is a subtask.
You must never modify the Is Subtask property of a task UI or a subtask after you finish creating it. For more information, see Diagramming a Task UI.
- Define the business object that the task UI references.
- If necessary, define the transient business component that the task UI references.
For more information, see Determining if You Must Use a Transient Business Component.
- Click Finish.
Siebel Tools creates a new object definition for the task UI, and then opens the Task Editor with the start and end steps already added.
- Optional. To revise the task UI during development, use the Tasks list, as necessary.
Using the Tasks List to Create a Custom UI
You can use the Tasks list to create a custom task UI. However, it is strongly recommended that you use the Task Wizard instead of the Tasks list to create a custom task UI. The Task Wizard makes sure you define the minimal set of properties and objects that your task UI requires. For more information, see Creating a Custom Task UI. To use the Tasks list to create a custom UI
- In Siebel Tools, lock the project for the new task UI. If necessary, create a new project.
- In the Object Explorer, click Task.
- In the Tasks list, create a new task UI.
At a minimum, define the following properties:
