Child Business Component of a Multi-Value Group

The child business component of a multi-value group stores the child records of the parent-child relationship with the parent business component. Siebel CRM gets the records that it displays in the multi-value group applet from the child business component. The child business component includes no important properties with respect to defining a multi-value group. It includes child field objects that Siebel CRM uses in the following ways:

• To store data for a field in the multi-value group. A list column in the multi-value group applet represents each field that fulfills this role. To supply data to a corresponding field in the parent business component, it might participate in the multi-value link.

• To identify the primary record in the multi-value group. The primary field that is defined in the Primary Field Id property of the multi-value link identifies the primary records.

The primary field is relevant to the parent business component, the multi-value link, and the multi-value group applet. The primary field has nothing to do with the child business component that the multi-value group references.

• As the destination field of the link. The field with this role is a foreign key to the parent business component.
