Using Expressions In the Calculated Field and Field Validation Properties

The Calculated Value property of a field specifies an expression that Siebel CRM uses to calculate the value of a field. The Validation property restricts the values for a single value field. Siebel CRM evaluates the Validation property only if the user modifies the value in this field in the client. It evaluates the Validation property of the business component fields that the current applet references. If these fields are part of other business components, then Siebel CRM also validates these fields.

Note the following:

  • The entire expression for the calculated value or validation must reside on one line.

  • The Calculated Value property and the Validation property can contain no more than 255 characters.

  • To reference a field value, you must use [Field Name].

  • You cannot use the Validation property to make the field required if this property references another field value.

  • Siebel CRM cannot validate a multivalue field.
