Multi-Value Group and Pick Applet

If a control or list column has an MVG applet configured in Siebel Tools, SWE will have the following behavior:

• In Base mode, the field shows the primary value in the MVG. There is no link to pop up the MVG applet in this mode.
• In Edit, New or Edit List mode (provided the control or list column is editable), the field will show the primary value of the MVG as read-only text followed by a link to pop up the MVG applet. The style of the link to the MVG is configured using the EditFieldCaption and EditFieldType properties in the cfg file.
• When the link is activated, the MVG applet is rendered on a separate pop-up window.
• If the MVG applet has an Edit List type template defined in the repository, that template is used to render the applet. If not, the Base template is used. An error is generated if both Base and Edit List templates are not defined.
• The MVG applet behaves like any other list applet in the pop-up window. You can invoke methods like EditRecord, AddRecord, and CreateRecord. When these methods are invoked, the appropriate template is displayed in the current pop-up window. After the record is saved or selected, the MVG applet is again rendered in this window in the Base/Edit List mode.
