About View Web Templates

Siebel CRM uses the view web template object type to associate a view web template with a view. A view web template uses the swe:applet tag to define placeholders for applets. You can use the Web Layout Editor to map a specific applet to each placeholder.

Example Code of a View Web Template

The following is code is from an example view web template:

<!-- Template Start: CCViewBasic.swt -->

<!------------ Page Title ------------->

<title>

<swe:this property="Title"/>

</title>

<!----------- Salutation applet and Search Applet, table 3.1 ------>

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" width="100%">

<tr>

<td width="66%"><swe:applet id="101"/>&nbsp;</td>

<td width="33%"><swe:applet id="201"/>&nbsp;</td>

</tr>

</table>

<!-------- End Salutation applet and Search Applet, table 3.1 ------>

<!------------ Regular Applet(s) ---->

<swe:for-each count=5 iteratorName="currentId" startValue="1">

<swe:applet id="swe:currentId"/>

</swe:for-each>

<!------------ Special Applet(s) ---->

<swe:for-each count=3 iteratorName="currentId" startValue="11">

<swe:applet id="swe:currentId"/>

</swe:for-each>

<!-- Template End: CCViewBasic.swt -->

Applet ID Tags

Each swe:applet id=x tag is a placeholder that determines the location for an applet in the view web template. To display different views, you can map applets that currently exist in the view to placeholders in this same view web template. View web templates that come predefined with Siebel CRM include the following swe:applet tags:

• Tags with IDs of 101 and 201. Displays the salutation and search applets that Siebel CRM displays at the top of the views.
• Tags with IDs 1 through 10. Displays the main applets in the view.
• Tags with IDs that begin with 11. Displays special applets that Siebel CRM displays at the bottom of some views.
