Example Parent and Child Relationships In a View That References a Business Object

Each view references a business object. A master-detail view can define only a one-to-many relationship that the business object that the view references supports. To examine an example of this relationship, in the Siebel client, you can navigate to the Contacts List, drill down on the Last Name field of a contact, and then click the Opportunities tab. The parent Contact form displays prior to the Opportunities list. This contact to opportunities relationship is a one-to-many relationship that Siebel CRM defines in the Contact business object. To examine this relationship in Siebel Tools, locate the Contact Detail - Opportunities View in the Views list. This view references the Contact business object.

To implement a view that displays a many-to-one relationship between contacts and an opportunity, where many contact child records are related to one parent opportunity, a view references the Opportunity business object. To view this relationship in the Siebel client, navigate to the Opportunities List, drill down on the Opportunity Name field, and then click the Contacts tab.
