Creating Preview Views


In order for a user to preview a result record, you must define the view to use for the preview. You define the view by setting the Preview property of the Search Category object or Find object. The view will show up in a pop-up browser when the user clicks on the Preview button. Siebel Search does not support any navigation in the pop-up Preview view. The Preview view is read-only with no navigation buttons.

When you have a preview view defined for a search category object, the Drilldown business component property must be populated. The the Drilldown View property does not have to be populated.

To create a preview view

  1. Lock the project that will contain the Preview View object you want to add.
  2. Choose an existing applet that best fits your preview purpose.

    This applet must be a Form Applet, and must be based on the class CSSFrameBase.

  3. Create a Base type Applet Web Template and comment it as being for Search Preview.
  4. Map Data type Controls to Applet Web Template Items.

    Do not map any button type controls that are command controls.

  5. Configure a new view, and associate the applet in Base mode with your new view.
  6. Associate this view with a screen that will exist in the application where you are running Search Center.

    You do not need to provide Viewbar Text and Menu Text.

  7. Compile your changes in the SRF file.

NOTE:  Be sure to add the view to the user's responsibilities and restart the services to refresh the responsibilities.
