About the Palettes Window


The Palettes window, shown in Figure 10, is context sensitive:

  • When the Applet Layout Editor is open, the Palettes window allows you to create user interface controls in the Applet Layout Editor. The window supports drag-and-drop behavior for the creation and placement of new controls.
  • When the Entity Relationship Designer is open, the Palettes window displays the entity element and connectors used to create entity relationships.
  • When the Task Designer is open, the Palettes window displays the operations and connectors used to create tasks.
  • When the Workflow Designer is open, the Palettes window displays the operations and connectors used to create business processes.

Table 3 describes the Palettes window Web controls used in the Applet Layout Editor. For detailed information on the Entity Relationship Designer, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications. For detailed information on the Task Designer, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Task UI Guide. For detailed information on the Workflow Designer, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.
