About Applets

Applets are user interface objects that allow users to view, enter, and modify data from a single business component. They occupy a section of a view and include data controls, such as fields, text boxes, and check boxes, as well as other types of controls, such as buttons that invoke methods and ActiveX controls. Applets can be configured to display as forms, lists of records, charts, or hierarchical trees. Applets can be configured to allow data entry for a single record, to provide a scrolling table displaying multiple records, or to display business graphics or a navigation tree. Applets allow users access to the data of a single business component.
