Using the Display Name with a Looping Task

Setting the Display Name Type property to Unique causes Siebel CRM to add the value that the Display Name property contains to the current task pane the first time the user encounters the step. Siebel CRM does not add it on a subsequent step. This configuration is useful in a loop. For example, a loop where the user enters multiple line items, where each line item represents one iteration of the loop. If the type is set to Unique, then Siebel CRM displays the step in the current task pane the first time through the loop, but not during subsequent iterations.

If a loop includes:

• One view. Setting the Display Name Type property to unique is sufficient.

• More than one view. You can set the Display Name Type property to Unique and leave the Display Name property empty. Siebel CRM completes the Display Name and marks it as Unique for the first view in the loop. Other views in the loop include an empty Display Name. Siebel CRM then displays the Display Name of the first view in the current task pane for the entire loop.
