Disabling the Proceed Button

The Proceed button is available after the user clicks the Turn Off Quick Edit button to display conflicts among the components already added.

If there are incompatible components and the user clicks Proceed, Siebel Product Configurator might display one incompatible component in red or might remove one incompatible component. The product administrator can disable the Proceed button, if users might be confused by this behavior.

Disabling the Proceed button applies only when the Quick Edit mode is turned on. Because the user can make multiple selections before validating the configuration, the constraint engine cannot determine which user action caused the conflict, so the Proceed button is disabled. However, when the quick edit mode is turned off, each user action is evaluated by the constraint engine, so the engine knows which action causes a conflict; in this case, the Proceed button is enabled.
