Adding Custom Manifest Expressions

This topic describes how to add a custom manifest expression.

To add custom manifest expressions

  1. Log in to a Siebel client with administrative privileges.

  2. Navigate to the Administration - Application screen, and then the Manifest Expressions view.

  3. In the Expressions list, add the following expression.

    Field Value

    Name

    Enter text that describes the expression. For example, enter the following value:

    Desktop
    

    Siebel Open UI uses this value as an abbreviation for the expression that it displays in the Expression field in the Object Expression list in the Manifest Administration screen. It uses this abbreviation only to improve readability of the Object Expression list.

    Expression

    Enter an expression. For example, to apply the expression according to the:

    • Platform, use the following expression:

      GetProfileAttr("Platform Name") = 'Desktop'
      

      This example applies the expression for desktop platforms.

    • User position, use the following expression:

      GetProfileAttr("Primary Position Type") = "Sales Representative"
      

      This example applies the expression for the Sales Representative position.

    Siebel Open UI uses this value when it evaluates expressions that reside in the Object Expression list. For more information, see GetProfileAttr Method.
