Hierarchical Pick list inside the Siebel product configurator

While performing Siebel product configuration, multiple place you might need to configure the Pick list based on a list of value or any business components.

The Steps to Configuring Picklist inside the Product Configurator are:
Outside of product configuration:
Create a Pick Applet by following the normal pick applet configuration.
Create a Pick List by following the normal pick applet configuration.
Create the hierarchical LOV values.

Product Configurator:

                  Click on the property tab
              Select the attribute from the hierarchy view, where in the pick applet need to be visible to the user.
            Create the below UI properties for the attribute:
Name
Value
PickApplet
<<Name of the Pick Applet>>
PickList
<<Name of the Pick List>>
PickMap01
<PickMap Field = "AttrName" PickField = "BC Field Name"/>
PickMap02
<PickMap Field = "AttrName 2" PickField = "BC Field Name2" Constrain="Y"/>


Sample configuration:







Dynamic Product configurator SWT

I had a very interesting business requirement, where in Siebel product configurator is expected to show 1000+ characters static product description for 10+ components based on the user selection i.e. if user select product named “A condition”, the detailed description of the component is expected to show to the users:



How this can be achieved? The sample snippet will help use to put this logic on the “on the “eCfgControlComboPriceMultiLevelJS” web template.
