View

A view defines a visual representation of business object data.

This object type occurs in the following location in the object hierarchy:

  • Siebel Objects > View

Table 205 describes properties that Siebel CRM uses with a view.

Table 205. Properties of the View
Property
Description

Add To History (O)

If TRUE, then specifies to include this view in the historical list of views that the user navigates during a session. To access this history, the user clicks the browser Back button.

Bitmap Category (O)(H)

Not used.

Business Object (R)

Container Web Page (O)(H)

Specifies the container page to that contains this view. If this property includes a value, then it overrides the value in the Container Web Page property of an application.

Default Applet Focus

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM highlights the first time it displays this view. If this property is empty, then it highlights the first applet that it displays in this view, starting at the upper left corner of this view.

Disable PDQ

If TRUE, then Siebel CRM does not allow the user to create a default predefined query (PDQ).

Drop Sectors (R)(H)

Specifies the pair of sectors that Siebel CRM drops in six sector mode for any resolution that is less than 1024 by 768. You can use one of the following values:

  • 0and4
  • 1and5
  • 2and6
  • 3and7

Explicit Logon (O)

If TRUE, then the user must explicitly log in through the logon Web page to view this view.

Help Identifier (O)

Specifies a topic name for context-sensitive help. This name is a string that includes all uppercase characters and no empty space. For example:

ID_VIEW_OPPORTUNITY_LIST

HTML Bitmap (O)

Specifies the icon that Siebel CRM displays as a link to this view.

HTML Popup Dimension (O)

Specifies the dimensions of the pop-up window, in pixels. The value for this property must include a lowercase x and no spaces. For example:

640x480

Name (R)

Specifies the name of this view. Objects use this name to reference this view.

No Borders (O)(H)

If TRUE, then Siebel CRM does not display borders around the applets that this view displays.

Sector0 Applet (R)(H)

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM displays in sector 0 of this view.

Sector1 Applet (R)(H)

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM displays in sector 1 of this view.

Sector2 Applet (R)(H)

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM displays in sector 2 of this view.

Sector3 Applet (R)(H)

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM displays in sector 3 of this view.

Sector4 Applet (R)(H)

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM displays in sector 4 of this view.

Sector5 Applet (R)(H)

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM displays in sector 5 of this view.

Sector6 Applet (R)(H)

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM displays in sector 6 of this view.

Sector7 Applet (R)(H)

Specifies the applet that Siebel CRM displays in sector 7 of this view.

Secure (O)

If TRUE, then the Siebel Web Engine does the following:

  • Specifies the HTTPS protocol for all URLs that it creates to this view.
  • Verifies that the current request uses the HTTPS protocol. This configuration prevents a user from typing HTTP instead of HTTPS in the URL window of the browser to access a secure view.

The browser and the Web server handle HTTPS. The Siebel Web Engine only specifies to use HTTPS for a view. You must make sure HTTPS is enabled on any server that Siebel CRM expects to provide a secure view.

Status Text (O)(H)

Not used.

Task

Specifies the default task that this view uses.

Text Style (O)(H)

Specifies the text style that Siebel CRM uses by default for all controls in the applets that this view uses. Siebel CRM uses this text style only if the control or applet does not explicitly specify a text style.

Thread Applet (O)

Specifies the name of an applet. A field in this applet provides the data that Siebel CRM uses as part of the thread title. The Thread Field property identifies this field.

Thread Field (O)

Specifies the name of the field of the thread applet. This field provides the data that Siebel CRM uses as part of the thread title.

Thread Title (O)

Specifies the text that Siebel CRM uses for the thread title label.

Title (O)

Specifies the browser history that Siebel CRM uses to display the names of views that the user has accessed. Siebel CRM uses this history if the user clicks the browser Back or Forward button.

Vertical Line Position (O)(H)

Specifies the position that Siebel CRM uses when it displays a dividing line between applets in sectors 0 to 3 and applets in sectors 4 to 7. The Vertical Line Position property can include a value between 0 and 12, where:

  • 0. Positions the vertical line to the extreme left.
  • 12. Positions the vertical line to the extreme right.
  • 6. Positions the vertical line in the middle.

The default value is 6.

This property is useful for a view that contains a tree applet that must occupy only about one-third of the width of the area that the user can view. In this situation, it is recommended that you set the Vertical Line Position property to a value of 4 through 8. If you do not, then Siebel CRM might stretch or compress an applet to such an extent that it is difficult to view.

Visibility Applet (O)

Specifies the applet in this view that controls visibility. Typically this applet is one of the following:

  • The list applet in a list-form view.
  • The master applet in a master-detail view.

You must set the Visibility Applet property to the master applet of this view.

For more information, see Setting the Visibility Applet Properties of a View.

Visibility Applet Type (O)

Specifies the visibility mode that Siebel CRM applies to the applet that the Visibility Applet property specifies. The Applet Visibility Type property of the view Web template overrides the Visibility Applet Type property. For more information, see Setting the Visibility Applet Properties of a View.

Setting the Admin Mode Flag Property of a View

The Account Administration view, Opportunity Administration view, and Product Administration view are examples of Admin mode views. If the Admin Mode Flag Property is TRUE, then Siebel CRM uses this view in Admin mode. It does the following:

  • Ignores any insert or update visibility rules that exist for this view. You set the Admin Mode Flag to TRUE only for an administrative view.
  • If pop-up visibility is set for the business component that provides data to this view, then Siebel CRM uses this pop-up visibility.
  • Ignores the visibility type for the business component unless this type is Organization.
  • Ignores any no insert, no merge, and no update settings that exist on a business component that provides data to this view. Admin mode does not affect these restrictions that are set on the applet or if the Read Only property of a field is TRUE.
  • Allows the user to display every record, even if no primary team member is set for a record. This visibility is different from All visibility where Siebel CRM only displays records that include a primary team member.

If the Admin Mode property is TRUE, then a conflict might occur in the following situations:

  • Visibility is configured on a multivalue link or multivalue field on the business component that provides data to this view.
  • The Force Active property is set on this business component or on this multivalue field.

Setting the Visibility Applet Properties of a View

If the user uses the Show drop-down list to navigate between views, and if the settings for the Visibility Applet property and the Visibility Applet Type property are different between these views, and if the configuration of the business components and the search specifications is consistent between these views, then Siebel CRM keeps the query context and record focus from the previous view.

If the user uses the Site Map or the Screen Tabs to navigate between views, and if the settings for the Visibility Applet property and the Visibility Applet Type property are different between these views, then Siebel CRM applies the most restrictive visibility configuration. In this situation, it typically uses the Personal or Sales Rep visibility, depending on the visibility settings of the business component and the Thread Applet property of the view.
