Using Siebel Webtools to Create New Business Objects

Because the Alternate Email Address field in the Contact business component is a multivalue field, you can use Siebel Webtools to determine the destination business component and the destination field that stores the data. To find the destination business component, check the multivalue link for the field. The destination field is defined as a field parameter. In this example, the Alternate Email Address field in the Contact business component uses the data in the Address field of the Communication Address business component. These values are used to define the input arguments in the Lookup Sender step.

Before you can use the Communication Address business component in the workflow, you must define it as part of a business object in the repository. Because Communication Address is not defined as part of a business object in preconfigured workflows, you must create a new business object in Siebel Tools. For more information about creating business objects, see Using Siebel Tools.

2. Create a new business object named Communication Address.

3. Add the Contact and the Communication Address business object components to the new business object.

4. Set the link parameter on the Communication Address business object component to Contact/Communication Address.

5. Navigate back to the new business object, and set the primary business component to Contact.
