HI All,
Please let me know if it is possible to open up the MVG in case somebody enters a number which is already there in the system, so that Users can choose it. We are using the above mentioned approach to create a new record in the child BC. However if the value entered is already there in the system it wont open up the MVG applet on its own and will throw an error saying already this value is existing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi All,
Another important functinality of ‘Popup Update only’ is to make MVG Read Only. ENable No Insert,No Update and No Delete along with Popup Update Only to false. MVG will become readonly. Feel free to let me know if there are other ways to make a MVG ReadOnly.

I think I got ur point. I will have to try that one out before I answer this. But, I still don’t understand the logic why Siebel would be modifying the MVG record itself, and not the reference to that record.

Let me check and get back. Maybe Prachi can jump in between if she has the answer.

Nitin,
I can’t stop smiling either.

My qt was
how are you going to change the existing MVG (record) to a new one in UI !

If I take your advice and erase the current value and enter a new one and save the record, the current highlighted MVG record is edited.Now how can I choose a new MVG record. (Try it on Account>Address)

I can’t help smiling!

The field on the Parent Applet is still editable. Why not just erase the current value and enter a new one!!

Thanks Nitin and Prachi !!!

Also say you have done the config with Popup Update Only set to FALSE.
Now how are you going to change the existing MVG (record) to a new one in UI !

A Fantastic solution I would say, Prachi.

This could be very useful in cases where we already have a vanilla functionality for a field based on an MVG, but, the Business Requirements want it to be a single value field. In this case, we can just use this property. It will save me quite a bit of configuration of creating a new column, maybe, and mapping that in BC and all the applets. Nice work. Keep it up!!

@ Maverick,

I think what Richa is trying to say is that when you set the property “Popup Update Only” to false, there would be no Pop Up Applet for entering value in that MVG based field. In that case, in the Parent Applet where you have the Multi Value Field present, you can directly enter the value in the Multi Value Field itself.

Generally, you have a small glyph in an Multi Value Field, for eg. Address. When you press that glyph, or press F2, it will pop up a new applet. Setting the “Popup Update Only” property to false, there would be no popup. The MVF field will act just like a normal field.

Cheers!!

Setting this to FALSE, MVG (Multi Value Group) field values can be edited directly from the Parent Applet.

Please explain
