Modifying Applets to Display Additional Attributes
Now that the fields are added to the business component, the next step is to expose them in the user interface. NREC's design is to modify the default applets that appear on the Opportunities Detail View to include the new fields. These two applets are:
- Opportunities List Applet (SCW)
- Opportunities Form Applet (SCW)
An alternative would be to create new applets. However, modifying existing objects is typically a preferable method because it requires less configuration work and causes less problems with future upgrades.
The following procedures are the high-level steps required for modifying the existing Opportunities list and form applets to display new fields added to the opportunities business component. As discussed in the previous chapter, the procedures differ slightly for form and list applets. See Exposing Fields in the User Interface.
To expose the new fields on the Opportunity List Applet (SCW)
- Navigate to the Opportunities List Applet (SCW).
- Add the following List Columns.
Field Display Name Show in list ZIP Code ZIP Code FALSE Price Range Price Range TRUE Square Feet SQFT TRUE Number of Bedrooms Bedrooms TRUE Number of Bathrooms Bathrooms TRUEThe list columns are now available to map to applet Web templates. The Show in list property determines whether the field will appear by default in the list applet. If the Show in list property is not set to true, users can add it to the list applet at run-time by choosing Display Columns from the applet-level menu.
- Use the Web Layout Editor, to delete the following fields from the applet Web template.
- Revenue, Sales Stage, Committed, Lead Quality, Probability, Probability %, Reason Won/Lost, Currency, Created, Description, Site, Address, City, State, ZIP, and Country.
NOTE: Hold down the Ctrl key and select multiple controls on the applet Web template.
- Map the list columns defined in Step 2 to the Web template.
To expose new fields on the Opportunity Form Applet (SCW)
- Navigate to the Opportunities Form Applet (SCW).
- Add the following Controls.
- Using the Web Layout Editor, delete the following fields from the applet Web template.
- Site, Created, Address, City, State, ZIP, Country, Probability, Committed, Sales Team, Lead Quality, Sales Method, Sales Stage, Lead Source, Revenue, Expected Value, Upside, and Downside.
NOTE: Hold down the Ctrl key and select multiple controls on the applet Web template.
- Map the controls you created in Step 2 to the Web template.
