Displaying a Subset of Fields or CRM Records

You can display a subset of fields in a form applet or a limited number of CRM records in a list applet. If the user clicks Show More/Less, then the applet displays more fields or records. The applet includes a Less mode and a More mode. The user can toggle between these modes to display more or fewer controls or list columns.

The Mode property of the applet web template item determines the mode in which Siebel CRM displays a control or list column. For more information, see Displaying a Field Only If the User Chooses Show More.

If no web template item is defined in the More mode for an applet, then Siebel CRM does not display the Show More/Less button. Siebel CRM does not support the More/Less feature for a pop-up applet. For more information, see Customizing Pop-Up Applets and Windows.

1. In Siebel Tools, click Applet in the Object Explorer.
2. In the Applets list, locate the detail applet you must modify.
3. Right-click the applet, and then choose Edit Web Layout.
4. In the Applet Layout Editor, drag a Link control from the Palette window and then drop it in the placeholder at the upper right portion of the applet.
