At Siebel CRM version 7.7, a declarative model for associating views with screens was introduced. The relationship between views and screens for all levels of navigation must be explicitly declared. Several new object properties for screens and views are introduced to support this.

The new navigation scheme is applied to all screens and views for regular merges. The utility runs after the repository merge in all upgrades. However, it is intended primarily for upgrades from releases prior to Siebel CRM version 7.7.

After a regular merge, screens and views display as follows:

• Unmodified screens display normally.

• The views in customer-created screens do not display.

• Views added to existing screens do not display.

The utility scans all screen view definitions looking for orphaned views. It groups orphaned views under existing Categories. If no Category exists, then the utility creates one. This causes the orphaned views to display.

For a regular merge, you must review customer-created and customer-modified screens and views to verify that views are correctly associated with screens.

The utility generates output to the reputility.log section called User Interface Navigation Upgrade.
