Example Screen View Hierarchy


To understand the hierarchy of screen views, consider the example of the Accounts Screen and some of its child Screen View objects in the Siebel Repository. Table 48 lists several Screen Views from the Account screen and the key properties that determine the UI location.

Although the Screen View object plays a major role in determining where views appear in the UI, view Web templates ultimately control their appearance. For example, most Web templates are designed to render the 4th-level navigation as links under the view tabs. However, some Web templates are designed to render them as links in a drop-down list.
