Web Services On Demand and Custom Fields

Oracle CRM On Demand allows company administrators to create custom fields that capture information specific to the company's needs. Web Services On Demand allows customers to interact with the data stored in these custom fields. Each custom field has an associated integration tag that is used by Web services and Web links to reference data in custom fields. This feature allows administrators to change the display name of a field without making modifications to the existing Web services integration.

Custom Fields can be referenced using two different integration tags:

1. The Custom WSDL file uses the format:

   fieldtypeDisplay_Name

   For example, a custom Boolean field with the display name Account Selected would have the default custom integration tag bAccount_Selected.

2. The Generic WSDL file uses the format:

   fieldtype##

   For example, a custom Boolean field would have the generic integration tag CustomBoolean0.

The following procedure describes how to view or modify the integration tag information:

You can download custom WSDL files in which the XML tags for the custom fields are based on the integration tags using the following procedure:
