Search Specification Input Argument Fields

The following table describes fields that you can define for an input argument on a search specification on the Search Spec Input Arguments tab of the Multi Value Property Window (MVPW) pane.

Field Description

Expression Business Component

If you enter Expression in the Type field, then you must enter the name of the business component that evaluates the expression. For example, in the Search Specification field, you can enter the following code:

"[Due Date] < '" + [Order Date] + "'" 

In this example, the expression business component evaluates Order Date so that Siebel CRM uses the following search specification:

[Due Date] < '07/04/2001 18:51:26' 

Filter Business Component

Enter the name of the business component that provides the group of records that Siebel CRM uses to do the search.

Search Specification

The value you enter depends on the value that you select for the Type argument:

  • Literal. Enter a literal value in the form of an expression. For example: = 100.

  • Expression. Enter an expression. For example:
    [Status] LIKE ‘*Open*’

To evaluate this expression, Siebel CRM uses the Expression business component that you define.

Type

(Required) Select either Literal or Expression.

Comments

Enter a text description of the purpose of the search.

Changed

Check mark indicates a changed search specification.
