How Siebel CRM Calls an Association Applet from a Master-Detail View

Siebel CRM can call an association applet from a master-detail view where the underlying business components possess a many-to-many relationship. The association applet lists the records from the business component. The user can use the Find or Starting With control to choose one or more records, and then click OK to associate the chosen records with the parent record.
