Sorting According to the View Mode That the Business Component Uses

The ViewMode Sort: mode_num user property specifies a sort specification on a business component that is in view mode. The value for this user property must use the following format:

field name1, field nameN

where:

• field name identifies the name of a business component field.

The order that you use in this value determines the priority that Siebel CRM uses for each field that the sort uses.

Caution: To avoid a performance problem, any sort that you define must reference an indexed column. The items in this sort sorts must occur in the same sequential order that this index uses. This configuration includes any sort that you define with the ViewMode Sort user property.

mode_num contains an integer that identifies a view mode. The following table describes the integers that you can use. For information about these integers, see Siebel Object Interfaces Reference.

Integer	View Mode
1	ManagerView
3	AllView
5	OrganizationView
7	GroupView
8	CatalogView
9	SubOrganizationView

You can use the ViewMode Sort user property to sort items in a view that uses visibility other than the Personal or Sales Rep visibility. You can use it with the following views:

• All

• Catalog

• Group

• Manager

• Organization

• Sub-Organization

You can configure Siebel CRM to modify the value for this user property, create a new instance of it, or deactivate it.
