        TheApplication().TraceOn("D:\Setname.txt","Allocation","All");

       

        if(TheApplication().GetProfileAttr("Position") == "Siebel Administrator")

        {

                        TheApplication().Trace("Inside f Block");

                        this.SetNamedSearch("EmailContacts" , "[Preferred Communications] = 'E-Mail'")

        }
