Configuring the Graphic Elements of a Tree Applet

A tree control includes reusable graphic elements and text that Siebel CRM gets from a business component record, as defined in the tree and tree node. Siebel CRM defines the graphic elements in a tree applet, such as elbows, folder symbols, and so on, as parameters of the Application Object Manager. You can use these parameters to configure how Siebel CRM displays the folder and document symbols, expand icons, collapse icons, elbows, spacers, and so on. For more information about Application Object Manager, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

You can use an HTML hierarchy bitmap to configure some graphic elements. For more information, see Configuring Icons in a Tree Applet.

Parameters You Can Modify That Determine How Siebel CRM Displays Graphic Elements in a Tree Apple

Table 51 lists parameters you can modify that determine how Siebel CRM displays graphic elements in a tree applet.

Using the Configuration File to Specify Parameters

You can use the configuration file to specify parameters that determine how Siebel CRM displays graphic elements in a tree applet.

To use the configuration file to specify parameters

1. Open the relevant configuration file in a text editor.
2. Add a separate line for each parameter you must specify.

   Use the following format:

   parameter_name = "<param1 param2>"

   where:

   • param1 and param2 are the names of the parameters.

     For example:

   TreeNodeCollapseCaption = "<img src='images/tree_collapse.gif' alt='-' border=0 align=left vspace=0 hspace=0>"

You can use the alt parameter in the img tag to replace an image with text. This configuration is useful to support a browser that only displays text.

Configuring How Siebel CRM Displays Text From Field Values

You can configure how Siebel CRM displays text that it gets from field values.

To configure how Siebel CRM displays text from field values

1. Open the relevant configuration file in a text editor.
2. Add a separate line for each parameter you must specify, using the following format:

   parameter_name = value

   where:

   parameter_name is one of the following parameters:

   • TreeNodeFontStyle
   • TreeNodeFontSize
   • TreeNodeSelectBgColor
   • TreeNodeSelectFgColor
