Drilldown Object


A drilldown object allows the user to drill down on a field in a list applet and navigate to another view where Siebel CRM displays more data about the field. To identify a drilldown field in a list, Siebel CRM uses colored, underlined text. For more information about how to configure drilldown on a form applet in Siebel Open UI, see Article ID 539183.1 on My Oracle Support.

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

  • Siebel Objects > Applet > Drilldown Object

Table 25 describes properties that Siebel CRM uses with a drilldown object.

Table 25. Properties of the Drilldown Object
Property
Description

Business Component (O)

Specifies the destination business component. If this property is empty, then Siebel CRM uses the same business component for the destination business component that it uses for the source business component, although it typically modifies the view.

If the destination view must display the same active business components in the same context, and if you do not require Siebel CRM to modify the current query context, then do not specify a value in any of the following properties for this drilldown object:

  • Business Component
  • Destination Field
  • Source Field

Destination Field (O)

Specifies field in the destination business component. The value that this field contains equals the value that the source field contains in the source business component. If you do not specify a business component, then do not specify a value in the Destination Field property.

If the Destination Field property is empty, then it defaults to Id, which is the row ID of the destination business component.

Hyperlink Field (O)

Specifies a business component field that the applet references that Siebel CRM uses for the drilldown. This property also determines the field in the list column in the list applet that is blue and underlined.

You must enter a value in the Hyperlink Field property. If you do not enter a value, then Siebel CRM does not display a link that the user can click to drill down.

Menu Text (O)

Not used.

Name (R)

Specifies the name of the drilldown object. This name must be unique among drilldown objects in the applet.

Sequence (O)

Specifies a sequence number that Siebel CRM uses in a dynamic drilldown. This number determines the default drilldown object.

Source Field (O)

Specifies a business component field that the applet references. This field is the source of the drilldown. Siebel CRM applies the value that this field contains as a search specification to the destination field in the destination business component. Because the user navigates from one view to another view, a new active business component occurs. The following properties establish a relationship from a record in the source business component to the appropriate record or set of records in the destination business component:

  • Source Field
  • Business Component
  • Destination Field

If you do not specify a value in the Business Component property for this drilldown object, then do not specify a value in the Source Field property.

If the Source Field property is empty, then Siebel CRM drills down to the same row in the destination business component.

View (O)

Specifies the view that Siebel CRM displays if the user drills down. If the View property is empty, then:

  • Siebel CRM continues to display the current view. For example, if the user drills down from an account to a subaccount.
  • You must specify a value in the Business Component property.

Visibility Type (O)

Specifies a visibility type that is different than the default visibility for the destination business component. To view the values you can use, click the Visibility Type property in Siebel Tools.

You typically set this value to All. This value makes sure that Siebel CRM can display the destination record.
