How Siebel Tools Displays Relationships Between Objects

A parent-child relationship is a hierarchical relationship that defines a relationship between object definitions. If you expand an object type in the Object Explorer, then Siebel Tools displays the child objects of the parent-child relationship. For example, if you expand the Applet tree, then Siebel Tools displays the following child object types:

• Applet Method Menu Item

• Applet Browser Script

• Applet Server Script

• Applet Toggle

A parent-child relationship between object definitions implies that the child object definition is in, or belongs to, the parent object definition. It does not imply inheritance between object definitions. The properties of a parent object are not related to the properties of a child object.

Terms such as object, property, or class describe the Siebel CRM metadata. These terms do not describe corresponding terms in object-oriented programming.
