About the Applets Window


The Applets window (shown in Figure 9) displays information about a selected view and allows you to add applets to that view. You access the Applets window through the View Layout Editor. From there, you can add applets to a view by dragging their icons from the Applets Window into the view layout.

The Applets window has the following fields, buttons, and drop-down list:

  • Bus. Object. This field shows the business object associated with the view.
  • Template. This field shows the Web template associated with the view.
  • Change Template. This button opens the Choose Template dialog box that lets you select a different Web template.
  • Edit Template. This button opens the template editor you defined as the external Web template editor in the options.
  • Mode. This drop-down list shows the view mode, such as Base or Edit.

The Applets window has two tabs: the Icons tab (shown on the left in Figure 9) and the List tab (shown on the right in Figure 9).
