Configuring Indentation and Order of a Hierarchical List Applet


If you call an Indent or Outdent applet method menu item on a record, then Siebel CRM demotes or promotes the child records. It does not change the relationship to the child records of the called record.

Changes that the MoveUp and MoveDown applet method menu items make are temporary. Siebel CRM does not save these changes to the Siebel database.

To create an applet that resembles the tree applet, you can define other bitmaps. The tree applet is not defined for a hierarchical list applet in the Siebel client. Siebel CRM uses the Arrow Down and Arrow Up bitmap only in a tree control. For more information, see Customizing a Tree Applet.

To configure indentation and order of a hierarchical list applet

  1. In the Object Explorer, click Applet.
  2. In the Applets list, locate the applet you must modify.
  3. In the Object Explorer, expand the Applet tree, and then click Applet Method Menu Item.
  4. In the Applet Method Menu Items list, create a new record and set properties using values described in Table 49.

Table 49 describes the applet method menu items you can call from a control. These methods provide a way to edit the indentation and order in which Siebel CRM displays objects in the hierarchical list applet.
