Modifying the User Interface for User Registration

To add or delete a field in the User Information form, you must use Siebel Tools to modify its underlying applet. The following procedure is intended to list the major steps you must perform to add or delete a field in the User Information form. For detailed information about performing any step, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

To add or delete a field in the User Information form

1. Open Siebel Tools.

2. Lock the User Registration project.

3. If you are adding a field, then determine what field to add. Add to both the VBC User Registration virtual business component and the User Registration business component the field that corresponds to the field you want to add. Use the same names for these fields.

   For more information, see (Optional) Modifying Self-Registration Views and Workflows.

   1. In the Object Explorer, click Business Component.

   2. In the Business Components list, query or scroll to select the User Registration business component.

   3. In the Object Explorer, expand Business Component, then click its Field child item.

   4. In the Fields list, add the field you need for this business component.

   5. Repeat this process for the VBC User Registration virtual business component.

4. Configure the applet VBC User Registration Initial Form Applet to display or hide the field.

   1. In the Object Explorer, click Applet.

   2. In the Applets list, query or scroll to select the applet VBC User Registration Initial Form Applet.

   3. In the Object Editor, expand Applet, then click its Control child item.

   4. In the Controls list:

      • If you want to hide a field, then select its record in the Controls list and check its Inactive field.

      • If you want to add a field, then add a new record in the Controls list and complete only the following fields using the indicated guidelines.

        Field	Guideline
        Name	Enter a name for this field, such as City
        Caption	Enter the caption you want for this field in the user interface, such as City
        Field	Enter the field that you determined earlier in this procedure that you want to add, such as City
        HTML Display Mode	Delete the default value, so the field is empty
        HTML Row Sensitive	Check
        HTML Type	Pick Text
        Sort	Check
        Text Alignment	Pick an alignment
        Visible	Check
        Visible - Language Override	Enter Y

5. Configure the appropriate applet Web template for VBC User Registration Initial Form Applet to display or hide the field.

6. Update the repository and deliver the updates, then unlock the User Registration project.

Note: To remove a field from the self-registration user interface, you do not have to delete the field from the applet in which it appears. Instead, configure the applet so that the field is not displayed in the user interface.
