About Shuttle Applets

A shuttle applet is a type of applet that allows the user to associate child records with a parent record and to create new records. In high interactivity, a shuttle applet displays in the following situation:

1. The user clicks the MVG button.
2. The business component of the underlying multi-value group applet includes a many-to-many relationship with the parent business component.

A shuttle applet uses the same underlying object architecture as an association applet. For more information, see How Siebel CRM Constructs an Association Applet It Calls from a Multi-Value Group Applet.

A shuttle applet derives the following items from the association applet:

• Applet header. For example, New, Query, Find, and Starting With.
• Available label.
• List body that Siebel CRM displays on the left side of the shuttle applet.

A shuttle applet derives the following items from the multi-value group applet:

• Selected label
• List body that Siebel CRM displays on the right side of the shuttle applet
• OK button
• Add, Add All, Remove, and Remove All buttons

NOTE:  You cannot call a popup applet from a shuttle applet.

How the Shuttle Applet Uses Web Templates

Siebel CRM uses the following specialized web templates to render a shuttle applet:

• CCPopupListAssoc.swt
• CCPopupListMVG.swt

The Mode property of the applet web template item determines the applets in which Siebel CRM displays the controls:

• If Mode is not defined, then Siebel CRM displays the control in shuttle and non-shuttle applets.
• If Mode is DefaultOnly, then Siebel CRM displays the control only in an applet that is not a shuttle applet. Examples include the OK and the Cancel button on the association applet.
• If Mode is More, then Siebel CRM displays the control only in the shuttle applet. Examples include certain buttons, such as Add, Add All, Remove, and Remove All.
