Administration Screen Settings

Administration screen settings for Siebel Mobile can appear at three levels: application, component, or user. Certain settings are allowed only at specific levels. There are also two types of settings:

• Single-line setting. For this setting, only one row can contain a unique setting name at a given level. Thus, a single-line setting at the User level can be used only once at that level. For single-line settings, the Sequence column must always contain a value of zero. For single-line settings, you can leave the sequence column value unchanged, which results in a default value of zero being assigned.

• Multi-line settings. For this setting, the sequence column is necessary to allow multiple rows. The sequence column has no effect on actual processing, but is part of the logical key in the database table. When you create a new record in this database table, the record must have a unique logical key. For multi-line settings, each line must include a different sequence number to avoid logical key conflicts.

If the combination of setting name and sequence number is not unique for a particular parent record (application, component, or user), then you get an error message when stepping off or saving the record. Multi-line entries must contain the correct key values before they can be saved to the database.
