Targeting Configuration

The Siebel Life Sciences targeting engine can be configured through the user properties found in the following two tables. The following table describes the TargetCategory user properties.

Field	Required	Description
Name	Required	TargetCategory.
Changed	Read-only	An indicator of whether or not the user property is changed.
Value	Required	A value that the targeting engine uses to determine which saved lists are available to the business component. This value is strictly user-defined. Siebel Pharma ships with the default values, Contacts, for contact-related business components and, Accounts, for account-related business components. One TargetCategory can be active for each business component.
Inactive	Optional	An indicator of whether the user property is active.
Comments	Optional	Comments describing the user property.

The following table describes the TargetId user property.

Field	Required	Description
Name	Required	TargetId.
Changed	Read-only	An indicator of whether or not the user property is changed.
Value	Required	A value the targeting engine uses to determine the field in the business component that will be matched against the saved list ID. If the TargetId record is not defined as a user property for the business component, the targeting engine defaults to ROW_ID. One TargetId can be active for each business component.
Inactive	Optional	An indicator of whether the user property is active.
Comments	Optional	Comments describing the user property.

With these user properties, you can apply a target list in other business components and indicate what value in the business component will be stored for later retrieval. For example, to allow targeting functionality on opportunities, add the user property in the following table to each Opportunity business component.

Field	Required	Description
Name	Required	TargetCategory.
Changed	Read-only	An indicator of whether the user property is changed (optional).
Value	Required	For example, Opportunity (or any value you choose).
Inactive	Optional	An indicator of whether the user property is active.
Comments	Optional	Comments describing the user property.

Once active, this user property will allow users to save a target list of opportunities and apply the list across screens in any Opportunity related business component.
