Conditional Mappings for Applets

---

Conditional mappings are settings in the repository that modify the appearance of an applet depending on the current target browser group, application, language, and more/less mode. These are implemented with properties in the Applet Web Template object type, and its children and grandchildren, and are set using certain UI features in the Tools environment.

The following features support conditional control mappings in applets:

Browser Specific. Based on the target browser group or virtual browser group the user is using.
Application Specific. Based on the application the user is running.
Language Specific. Based on the language/locale in which the application is running.
More/Less Mode Specific. Based on whether the applet is being displayed by the user in the More mode or the Less mode. The user can toggle between these modes to display more or fewer controls or list columns.

Conditional control mappings are added and removed in Tools when working in the Applet Web Editor by using picklist controls in the toolbar that specify the affected target browser group, application(s), language(s) and more/less mode. Conditional mappings are interpreted by SWE at runtime as it interprets and parses the template.

Each of the functional areas of conditional mapping is described in a subsection.
