Configuring Siebel eBusiness Applications > Configuring Special Purpose Applets > Configuring Tree Applets and Explorer ViewsA tree applet appears in the left sectors of an explorer view. The applet has a tree object definition as a child. The tree object definition has tree node children. Each tree node child object definition implements one folder symbol. These object types are described in greater detail below. ViewAn explorer view has a tree applet mapped to it as a View Web Template Item. However, there are no list applets mapped to it. The list applet is determined dynamically by the folder (Tree Node) that is currently highlighted by the user. A significant property of the View object the Business Object property. The business object selected determines which business components can be displayed, and which business components can be indicated as child nodes of which other nodes. Tree AppletA tree applet has no special property settings in the applet object definition, other than the class, which is set to CSSFrameTree. The Applet object type has the following important property settings:
NOTE: Search specifications on tree applets are not supported. TreeThe Tree object definition provides only a name; it is an object definition to which tree nodes can be attached, and which itself can be attached to the applet object definition. It always has the name "Tree." The Tree object type is similar to the List object type used in list applets, in that it serves as an attachment point for child object definitions. Tree NodeEach folder symbol is implemented using one tree node object definition. This includes the top-level node (Service Requests in the example). All of the tree node object definitions are immediate child object definitions of the tree object definition. There is no hierarchy of child and grandchild tree node object definitions (reflecting the hierarchy in the tree applet) under the tree; this is not feasible in the object definitions hierarchy in the repository. Instead, each tree node's hierarchical position in the tree applet is specified in the Position property of the tree node object definition. The Tree Node object definition has the following important properties:
