Scenario for Using the Quick Edit Feature

For example, a business sells a complex frame relay product.

Some sales agents have extensive experience configuring this product, so they know which components are compatible, and they want the ability to add many components and validate them all at once. Other sales agents have little experience configuring this product, and they want the product to be validated after each component is added.

The product administrator creates the Siebel Product Configurator user interface using the Quick Edit base theme. After completing the design of the user interface, the administrator associates it with the responsibility of all these sales agents.

When sales agents launch Siebel Product Configurator, validation is turned off. Less experienced agents click the Turn Off Quick Edit button, so each component they add is validated as they configure the product.

More experienced agents add several components that are not validated individually. Then they click the Turn Off Quick Edit button to have the engine validate all the components that they have added up to that point. Then they click the Turn On Quick Edit button and add another group of components that are not validated individually.
