Using Multiple Instances of Picklist Pre Default Field

You can configure Siebel CRM to use multiple instances of the Picklist Pre Default Field n user property. For example, to create a new opportunity, the user can use an Opportunity drop-down list in each of the following applets:

  • Activity Form Applet that references the Action business component

  • Comm Outbound Item Form Applet that references the Comm Outbound Email business component

If the user creates a new opportunity from the drop-down list in each of these applets, then Siebel CRM sets a default value for the Account for the opportunity and the Account Id field. It uses the corresponding field value from the parent record to get these default values.

The following table describes user properties that this example uses on the Opportunity business component. For more information, see Numbering Instances of a User Property.

User Property Name Value

Picklist Pre Default Field 1

"Account", "'Action.Account Name', 'Comm Outbound Email.Account Name'"
