Configuring How Siebel CRM Uses the Columns Displayed Feature

A list can typically display between seven and ten visible columns. To make sure all columns are visible, and to avoid unwanted text-wrapping or horizontal scrolling, it is recommended that you do not configure Siebel CRM to map more than ten columns. This template can map up to 80 fields. You typically set the majority of these fields to available but hidden. Siebel CRM does not display hidden fields in the list, by default. It displays them in the Columns Displayed dialog box.

Siebel CRM can set the Columns Displayed menu item of the Menu drop-down list as a shading to indicate that it is not available. If the applet mode is not Edit List, then this menu item is not visible. For more information, see List Template for Base or Edit List Mode.

To display the Columns Displayed menu item, the following objects must be in Edit List mode:

  • The applet.

  • The view web template items of the parent view.
