How Siebel CRM Uses a Joined Field

A joined field gets values through a join. Siebel CRM includes the name of the join in the Join property of the field. The Join property and Column property together identify the column and how to access it. If you create a joined field in a business component, then you can modify the Type property from the default DTYPE_TEXT to a more appropriate type. For example, if you join a table column that contains phone numbers, then you can modify the Type field to DTYPE_PHONE.
