Creating a List of Values

A list of values is a set of values that Siebel CRM uses to enter values in a static list. If the user chooses a static list, then it displays a list of values. The user can choose a value from the list to cause Siebel CRM to enter values into the field.

Siebel CRM stores the values in a list of values as records in the S_LST_OF_VAL table. A list of values includes the following parts:

• Header Row. Defines the name of the type grouping. For example, the first row in the following table. This type grouping name is the value of the Display Value property, such as ACCOUNT_STATUS. The row includes a Display Value property, but Siebel CRM does not display the header row in the list of values. The Display Value property for a header row defines only the name for the list of values. It does not display any strings in the Siebel client.

• Display Value Rows. Includes the values that Siebel CRM displays in a list that references the list of values. The rows in the following table where Type is ACCOUNT_STATUS are examples of display value rows. These rows contain the display values that Siebel CRM displays in the Siebel client. The Type property for each display value row is ACCOUNT_STATUS, which is the same as the Display Value of the Header Row.

The Type field groups List of Value records. For example, the Type value is ACCOUNT_STATUS for values that the Status field of the Account Entry Applet includes.

A picklist object includes a Type property that identifies the LOV Type that is associated with the list. Siebel CRM reads this information to determine the list of values that it displays for a list in the Siebel client. For more information, see About Static Lists.

The following table lists the values that belong to the LOV Type defined as ACCOUNT_STATUS.

Type	Display Value
LOV_TYPE	ACCOUNT_STATUS
ACCOUNT_STATUS	Candidate
ACCOUNT_STATUS	Qualified
ACCOUNT_STATUS	Active
ACCOUNT_STATUS	Inactive
