Creating Pick Applets

Often when implementing dynamic picklist, you can use an existing pick applet to expose the data in the user interface. However, if an existing pick applet does not meet your requirements, you can use the Pick Applet Wizard to create a new one.

Always name Pick applets <BusComp> Pick Applet. Always name association applets <BusComp> Assoc Applet.

To configure applets using the Pick Applet wizard

1. From Siebel Tools main menu, choose File > New Object.

   The New Object Wizards dialog box appears.

2. Click the Applets tab.
3. Click the Pick Applet icon, and then click OK.

   The General dialog box appears.

4. In the General dialog box, enter information for the following and then click Next.
   • Project
   • Pick business component
   • Name for the Picklist Applet
   • Display Name

     The Web Layout General dialog box appears.

5. In the Web Layout General dialog box, select the templates to use for the Base and Edit List modes, and then click Next.
6. In the Web Layout - Fields dialog box, select the fields you want to appear in the pick applet, and then click Next.
7. In the Second Web Layout - Fields dialog box, select the controls you want to appear in the pick applet and then click Next.

   NOTE:  By default all the controls are present in the Selected Controls box. If you wish to deselect any of these controls, highlight them and click the left arrow to move these controls into the Available Controls box. The controls that appear by default are based on the Model Pick Applet in the Siebel repository.

8. In the Finish dialog box, review the information, and then click Finish.

   The Pick Applet Wizard creates the pick applet object, and then opens the Web Layout editor that you can use to map list columns and controls to the placeholders in the Web Template.
