Creating Objects

You can use a wizard to create an object, or you can create it manually. It is recommended that you use a wizard. For example, to create a new business component, you use the Business Component Wizard. A wizard guides you while you configure a new object. It prompts you for the required property values and automatically configures any required child objects. If a wizard is not available for the object type that you want to create, then you can create it manually in the Object List Editor. For more information about using wizards and creating objects, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

Using a Wizard to Create Objects

This topic describes how to use a wizard to create an object.

To use a wizard to create objects

1. Click the File menu, and then click New Object.
2. Choose the appropriate wizard to create the new object.
3. Follow the instructions that the wizard shows.

NOTE:  The creation of applets and views through a wizard in Siebel Tools Innovation Pack 2017 remains almost the same as in the previous releases. In the previous releases, the web layout editor is opened at the end of the wizard creation. However, starting from Siebel Tools Innovation Pack 2017, after the view and applet are created using wizard, the place holders (item identifiers) that are assigned to the fields are in random order and you must map the fields using the ODH editor. Hence, web layout must be checked in the ODH editor in Web Tools and placeholders must be assigned to fields appropriately.

Using the Object List Editor to Create New Objects

This topic describes how to use the Object List Editor to create a new object. For more information, see Locating and Modifying Object Definitions in the Object List Editor.

To use the Object List Editor to create new objects

1. In the Object Explorer, click the object type that you want to create.
2. Right-click in the Object List Editor, and then click New Record.
3. Enter property values in the new row in the Object List Editor.

   You must enter values in the Name and Project properties. Siebel Tools might require that you set other properties, depending on the object type.

4. To save your modifications, click anywhere outside of the new row.
