Setting Row IDs for List Applets

List applets are displayed as HTML tables in standard-interactivity plus mode applications. Your screen reader determines the row header (ID) when you navigate between rows. However, the default row header might not be sufficient to help you identify each row uniquely. Oracle provides the capability to set row headers for list applets. List applet row headers are not preconfigured in the Siebel application, but you can set your own row headers.

Siebel Business Applications use the first data column as the default row header when there is no row header provided in the user property for the RowID applet. The following options are available if you want to select a different row header:

• Option 1. Contact your administrator to define the RowId user property.

  Your administrator adds a new applet user property, named RowId for the list applet. The RowId value must be equal to one of the displayed column names. For example, in the Contact List applet, if Last Name is selected as the row header, the user property value must be set to RowId is Last Name. In this example, Last Name is the list column name.

• Option 2. From the Column Displayed window, select a column that you want to use as the row header, and assign the column as the first column for the list applet. This newly selected column now becomes the row header.
