List of Values Fields

Many LOV attributes, such as Target High, Target Low, or Weighting Factor, are only used by specialized Siebel C++ code. Where these attributes are defined, modify them only as described in the specific documentation for that product area. If these attributes are not defined out-of-the-box, then you can leverage them for other purposes appropriate to your business needs. Use Siebel Repsitory to extend the PickList Generic BusComp by adding fields mapped to the corresponding column on the S_LST_OF_VAL table. For more information about the PickList Generic BusComp and about configuring static lists and pick maps, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

The following table shows the fields for List of Values records. Not all fields for list of values records appear in the standard user interface. You can use the Columns Displayed option in the applet menu (the cogwheel icon) to add or remove fields from the list.

Field	Description
Type	The specific category of list of values. For example, the SR_AREA LOV Type is used to store the possible areas under which a Service Request can be filed, and the MR_MRS LOV type is used to store the possible personal titles for a Contact (such as Mr., Mrs., Dr. and so on). To determine which LOV is used by a particular list, refer to the Pick List definition in the Siebel Repository as explained in Configuring Siebel Business Applications.
Display Value	Only display values for the user’s current language appear in this list. See also the description of the Language Independent Code field.
Translate	A check box that, when checked, indicates that internationalization is needed. This field is used by the Oracle development team to indicate that a particular LOV requires translation and does not affect any application functionality.
Multilingual	A check box that, when checked, indicates that a particular list of values Type has been multilingually-enabled. See also the description of the Language Independent Code field.
Language Independent Code	For LOV types that have been marked as Multilingual, the Language Independent Code (LIC) is used to provide a shared identity for a given LOV across all implemented languages. The LIC and Display Value are different for multilingual lists of values (MLOVs). MLOVs allow a single logical list item to support multiple display values for users who are accessing the application in different languages. For example if the MR_MS (Personal Title) list of values were multilingual, then there might be three list of values items with a LIC of Mr. These lists of values might have a display value and language of Mr. (English-American), Señor (Spanish - Modern), and Herr (German), respectively. German users see Herr in the Personal Title list, Spanish users see Señor and English users see Mr. Although the display values vary across language instances, the value stored in the Siebel database when a user selects any of these values is always the same. That is, there is a single LIC (Mr.) associated with all three records (Herr, Señor, and Mr.).
Parent LIC	The Language Independent Code of a parent list of values. This field is used in hierarchical lists of values, where the values that appear in a list are constrained by the value selected in the parent list of values. For more information, see Constrained Lists of Values.
Replication Level	This field is used by Siebel Remote for internal purposes only and is not for customer use. For all customer-related LOVs, the value for Replication Level should be All.
High	This field has specific functionality associated with it in some out-of-the-box LOV Types, such as ACCNT_REVENUE_SIZE. Where this field is defined, modify it only as described in the specific documentation for that product area.
Low	This field has specific functionality associated with it in some out-of-the-box LOV Types, such as ACCNT_REVENUE_SIZE. Where this field is defined, modify it only as described in the specific documentation for that product area.
Order	The numerical order in which a value appears within a list. Note: Through configuration, you can override the Order to force a different sort specification. For more information, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.
Active	A check box that, when checked, indicates that the value appears to the user, and that when unchecked, indicates that the value does not appear to the user.
Language Name	The language used for the Display Value field in the list of values.
Target Low	This field is used only by specialized Siebel C++ code. Where this field is defined, modify it only as described in the specific documentation for that product area.
Target High	This field is used only by specialized Siebel C++ code. Where this field is defined, modify it only as described in the specific documentation for that product area.
Weighting Factor	This field has specific functionality associated with it in some out-of-the-box LOV Types, such as ACCNT_REVENUE_SIZE. Where this field is defined, modify it only as described in the specific documentation for that product area. This field is used by Siebel Assignment Manager Only. For more information, see Siebel Assignment Manager Administration Guide.
Bitmap	This field is no longer used.
Description	A description of a specific value. This field is for informational purposes only and does not affect application behavior.
