How Siebel CRM Uses a Filter Business Component

A filter business component provides the group of records where Siebel CRM performs the context search. Siebel CRM uses the following logic to identify the records that it displays:

  • If the Is User Search Spec property is FALSE, then the user can only query records that Siebel CRM displays in the view. This is the default behavior.

  • If the Is User Search Spec property is TRUE, then the user can query all records. The Search Specification property determines the default records.

The following table describes example properties of a context search. In this example, the Is User Search Spec property is FALSE, so Siebel CRM displays only the records that include Opty as part of the name.
