View Mode

The view mode determines the number of rows extracted by the PowerCenter Integration Service from a business component. You can specify the following values for view mode:

SalesRep. Displays rows according to the following access control mechanisms used by a business component:

Single position. You can associate a single position with individual data. The PowerCenter Integration Service extracts the rows that are owned by the user position.

Sales team. You can associate multiple positions, in the form of a team, with data. The PowerCenter Integration Service extracts the rows that are owned by the users whose sales team contains the user position.

To view the rows for this view mode, the business component must have a view mode with an owner type of Position.

Manager. Displays rows for a user and the rows accessible by the users who report to the user. The rows displayed depend on the access control mechanism. For the single position access control, the PowerCenter Integration Service extracts the rows associated directly with the active position of the user and the rows associated with subordinate positions.

For the sales team access control, the PowerCenter Integration Service extracts the row for which the active position of the user is the primary position on the team or a subordinate position is the primary member on the team.

The PowerCenter Integration Service does not display any data if a user position has no subordinate positions. To view the rows for this view mode, the business component must have a view mode with an owner type of Position. This view mode is used by managers.

Personal. Displays the rows to which you have direct access. To view the rows, the business component must have a view mode with an owner type of Person. For example, you can view the rows for which you have permissions. This is the default view mode.

All. Displays the rows for an organization that have a valid owner. For example, an administrator can view all the accounts in the Account business component.

Organization. Displays rows for the organization to which a valid owner has been assigned and the position of the user is associated with the organization. This view mode is applicable to the single organization or multiple organization access control. For example, an executive can view the accounts of all the organizations in the Account business component.

Group. Displays rows either in the current category or in the first level child categories of a category to which the user has access. The PowerCenter Integration Service extracts the rows in the first level category if the user accesses the catalog.

Category. Displays a flat list of rows in categories across every catalog that a user can access.

SubOrganization. Displays rows depending on the type of access control. For the single organization access control, the PowerCenter Integration Service extracts the rows associated directly with the active position of the user or the descendant organization of the user. For the multiple organization access control, the PowerCenter Integration Service extracts the rows for which the active organization of the user or a descendant organization is the primary organization.

When a Siebel user selects a view mode and the rows are not available for the selected view mode, the PowerCenter Integration Service writes a message to the session log for the view mode.

The following table lists the hierarchy in a sample organization:

User Name	Designation	Manager	Subordinates	Rows created for the Service Request Business Component
Emma	VP - Service	None	Alan, Shane	2
Alan	Service Manager	Emma	Shane	2
Shane	Service Representative	Alan	None	2

In this hierarchy, Emma, Alan, and Shane are Siebel users in the organization. Alan reports to Emma, and Shane reports to Alan. Every Siebel user has created two rows for the Service Request business component.

When a Siebel user uses the Personal view mode to read data from the Service Request business component, two rows are extracted that are created by the Siebel user.

When a Siebel user uses the Manager view mode for reading data, the data for the Siebel user and subordinates is extracted. For example, if Emma uses the Manager view mode, the rows created by Emma, Alan, and Shane are extracted. If Alan uses the Manager view mode, the rows created by Alan and Shane are extracted.

When a Siebel user uses the Organization view mode, the rows created by the Siebel user and the other Siebel users in the organization are extracted because all Siebel users belong to the same organization. For example, if Shane uses the Organization view mode, the rows created by Shane, Alan, and Emma are extracted.
