Creating a Menu Item to Start a Task UI

You can create a menu item on an applet that the user can click to start a task UI. For more information, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

To create a menu item to start a task UI

1. In Siebel Tools, in the Object Explorer, click Command.
2. In the Commands list, create a new command using values from the following table.

   Property	Description
   Name	Enter text that describes the logic that the command performs.
   Business Service	Choose Task UI Service (SWE). CAUTION:  You must make sure that the business service you specify does not include a browser script. A business service only works with a server script. If an applet menu item on the Siebel Server calls a business service that includes a browser script, then the business service fails.
   Target	Choose Server.
   Method	Choose LaunchTask.
   Method Argument	Enter the name of the task UI.

   The task UI to open is defined in the properties of the command, so you must define a new command for each task UI.

3. Add a menu item to the applet menu that calls the command that is defined for the task UI.
