USER PROPERTIES

• User properties are object definitions that are added as children to some objects ,to configure specialized behavior beyond what is configured in the parent object definition's properties. These user properties belong to the following Siebel object types:

• Applet • Application • Assignment • Business Component • Business Service • Business Service Method Arg • Control • Field • Integration Component • Integration Component Field • Integration Object • List Column • View • Virtual Business Component

Setting Numbered Instances of a Userproperty

• Several user properties can have multiple instances on single BC.these can be represented as User property Name n.

• Ex: 1) On Field Update Set n• 2)No Change Field n etc.• Note: These Scenarios will produce unwanted

results.• 1)On Field Update Invoke 10, with no

instances with numbers less than 10 .• 2) Deep Copy 9 and Deep Copy 19, with no

instances numbered between 9 and 19

On Field Update Set(BC)

• Def:This user property allows you to set the value of a field in the business component when another field is updated.

• Syntax: Name:On Field Update Set n • The value of the On Field Update Set user

property consists of three quoted parameters separated by a comma and a space, as follows:

• "FieldToCheck", "FieldToSet", "Value", "Condition“• Requirement:If the Value of Request Category is

‘Other’ Specific Item Value should be Specific Item.If the Request Category Value is updated by other than ‘Other’ Value Specific Item Value should be null.

Solution: Create New Record in BC User propertiesName: On Field Update Set 57Value:"CCS Request Category", "CCS Specific Item", "IIf ([CCS Request Category] <> ""Other"", """", [CCS Specific Item])“

Deep Delete(BC)• Def: When you delete the Parent Record.

Corresponding Child Records also automatically deleted.

• Syntax:• Name: Deep Delete• Value: Child BC• Requirement: When The Service Request

is deleted Corresponding Activities should be deleted

Solution:Add New Record in BusComp User Properties with the following values.Name:Deep DeleteValue:Action

After adding the user property

Deep Copy(BC)

• Def: When you Copy the Parent Record. Corresponding Child Records also automatically Copied to the New SR.

• Syntax:• Name: Deep Copy• Value: Child BC• Requirement: When The Service

Request is Copied Corresponding Activities should be Copied

Solution: Add New Record in BusComp User Properties with the following values.Name: Deep CopyValue: Action

First Record

Second Record

No Delete Field(BC)• Def: It allows you to restrict the deletion of

records based on the value of the specified field.You Can’t Create More than one instance for one BC.

• Syntax:• Name:NoDelete Field • Value:Field Name• Requirement:When the Multi Field is set to

True the user shouldn’t be able to delete that Record

• Note:CSSBCBase

Solution: Create New Record in BusComp User propertiesName:NoDelete Field Value: Component Warranty Flag

No Change Field n(BC)• Def:This user property disallows changing

a field's value after the record is committed.

• Syntax:• Name: No Change Field• Value: Name of a field • Requirement: After saving the record user

properties• Name: No Change Field• Value: Homepage (URL)

Before Creating the User property

New Record

Text Length Override(Field)• Def:This user property allows you to

specify that the text length of the field, rather than that of the database column, defines the maximum field length

• Syntax:• Name:Text Length Override• Value:TRUE• Requirement:• Solution:• Name: Text Length Override• Value:TRUE• Note: It will look for Field’s Text Length Value

allows a Siebel developer to specify whether an end user can sort a result set on a specific field of a business component

• Syntax:• Name:DisableSort• Value:TRUE/FALSE• Requirement:User should not be able to

sort on Location Code irrespective of the Applet.

Solution: Create New record in Field User propertiesName:DisableSort Value: TRUE

• Def:This single-value field user property allows a Siebel developer to specify whether an end user can execute a wildcard query on a particular field.

• Syntax: • Name:DisableSearch • Value:TRUE or FALSE• Requirement: prevent users from, wildcard

searching on the field Status should be disabled.• Note:But exact match searching is allowed. If its

Aspect UserProperties(CSSBCBase)

• This user property provides a dynamic way to use the CSSBCBase class. When a particular aspect has been set, CSSBCBase changes its behavior based on the aspect-related setting described in the user property

• If Aspect BC ReadOnly: Aspect is defined, and the current aspect is Aspect, the current record becomes read-only when the value of Field Name is Y.

• If Aspect Child BC ReadOnly: Aspect is defined, and the current aspect is Aspect, the current record's child business components becomes read-only when the value of Field Name is Y.

• If Aspect BC NoInsert: Aspect is defined, and the current aspect is Aspect, the user cannot insert new records when the value of Field Name is Y.

Syntax• Field UserProperty• Name: Aspect Default Value: Aspect• Value: Expression

• BC UserProperty• Name

Value

• Default Aspect Aspect

• Aspect BC ReadOnly: Aspect Field Name• Aspect Child BC ReadOnly: Aspect Field Name• Aspect BC NoInsert: Aspect Field Name

Solution• 1)Create New Calculated Field in BC(Class

CSSBCBase)

• Name:Aspect Field• Value:IIF([Status] = "Not Started", "Y", "N")• EX:{IIF([Id] <> " ", "Y", "N") }//Always ‘Y’• 2)Enter User Properties for Calculated

Field• Name:Aspect Default Value: Aspect• Value: Aspect Field

Create New Records in BC UserProperties

“FALSE”Condition

“TRUE” Condition

Before adding (Child) userproperty

Aspect Child BC ReadOnly: Aspect

Named Method(Applet)• Def:This user property allows you to invoke a business component

or business service method, or set a field value. It can be used in place of scripting.

• Syntax:The value you provide for the Named Method user property depends on the action you want to perform.

• "Name", "SET", "Field", "Expression"• When Name is called, the value of Field is set using Expression.• 2.For invoking a business component method, the value consists

of four quoted parameters separated by a comma and a space, as follows:

• "Name", "Action", "BusComp", "Method"• When Name is called, Method is invoked on the BusComp business

component based on the defined Action. For a list of actions, see• For invoking a business service method, the value consists of five

quoted parameters separated by a comma and a space, as follows:

• "Name", "Action", "BusComp", "Service", "Method"
