Thread Bar Updation


Sometimes Simplicity just does not precede complexity, but follows it. Recently while configuring Thread Bar for some views, we faced a trivial issue. Value of the Thread Field defined was not coming in the Thread bar.  We have specified the correct Thread Applet, Thread Field and Thread Title properties for the related views but only Thread Title was being displayed when we drilldown from List view to Form View. Google resulted this issue being faced by other users without fix.
Things got luckier for me when i found a similar article on support web which stated that this is the intended behavior of siebel when the underlying Business Objects of traversing views are same. However as workaround of this issue there are three options:

  1. Have different BO's for List View and Destination View.
  2. Remove thread bar and make use of IE back option.
  3. If it is business critical to have navigation path in thread bar then one can define Source Field and Destination Field in the drilldown from list View to form view. This setting of source field in the drilldown causes Thread Field to be displayed in the Thread Bar. However it comes with its own inherent issue in a way that user can't traverse through record set in Form view. 
Hope this post helps you while configuring thread bar and keeping business object context in mind. Yup simplicity follows complexity.

Happy Configuration!!
