Setting the Tab Order for Fields in an Applet

You can set the sequence of fields that Siebel CRM activates each time the user presses the tab button.

To set the tab order for fields in an applet

1. In Siebel Tools, click Applet in the Object Explorer.
2. In the Applets list, locate the applet you must modify, right-click, and then choose Edit Web Layout.
3. From the Format menu, choose Set Tab Order.

   Siebel Tools changes the mode of the Applet Layout Editor to Set Tab Order and displays a number next to each control. If the user repeatedly presses the tab button, then the number indicates the sequence in which the user progresses through the controls.

4. To create the tab order, click each control in the same sequence in which the user progresses through the controls.

   Siebel Tools assigns a sequence number to each control when you click the control.

5. After you assign all the desired controls, click the canvas.

   Siebel Tools returns the Applet Layout Editor to normal edit mode. If necessary, you can start at Step 1 to reset the tab order.

6. Save your changes.
7. From the Format menu, choose Set Tab Order.

   Siebel Tools returns the Applet Layout Editor to normal edit mode.

8. Repeat steps Step 1 through Step 7 for each applet web template mode.
