How Siebel CRM Creates a Hierarchy

Siebel CRM uses the Parent LIC (language-independent code) field to define a parent value. For example, consider the example list of values described in the following table.

Type Display Value Language Independent Code Parent LIC

SAMPLE_LOV

1

1

None

SAMPLE_LOV

A

A

1

SAMPLE_LOV

B

B

1

SAMPLE_LOV

2

2

None

SAMPLE_LOV

C

C

2

SAMPLE_LOV

D

D

2

Assume Siebel CRM displays the values listed in the previous table in the following lists in a hierarchical relationship:

  • Parent list. Displays the values 1 and 2.

  • Child list. Displays values depending on the following value that the user chooses in the parent list:

  • 1. Siebel CRM displays the values A and B in the child list.

  • 2. Siebel CRM displays the values C and D in the child list.
