A user property is an object definition that Siebel CRM adds as a child to an applet, business component, control, field, or list column. It configures specialized behavior that the properties of the parent object cannot provide. The following object types include user properties:

• Applet

• Application

• Assignment

• Business Component

• Business Service

• Business Service Method Argument

• Control

• Field

• Integration Component

• Integration Component Field

• Integration Object

• List Column

• View

• Virtual Business Component

Oracle only supports user properties that this book describes. For information about a user property that is specific to a Siebel Business Application, see the guide for this application. For example, for a user property that is specific to Siebel Hospitality, see Siebel Hospitality Guide.
