Adding Existing Controls and List Columns to Applet Layouts

In the Applet Layout Editor, you can add existing controls and list columns to the applet layout. Existing controls and list columns are child objects of the applet object that are already created in the repository but have not been mapped to the applet Web template.

For more information about controls and list columns, see About Applet Controls and List Columns.

To add existing controls and list columns to applet layouts

1. Navigate to the applet you want to edit, right-click, and then choose Edit Web Layout.
2. In the Mode field of the Web Controls toolbar, choose the applet mode that you want to edit.
3. In the Application field of the Configuration Context toolbar, choose an application.

   Choose All Applications when you want configuration changes to apply to all applications. Choose a specific application when you want configuration changes to apply to the selected application only. For more information about configuring for a specific application, see About Application-Specific Mappings.

4. From the Controls/Columns window in the Applet Layout Editor, select the controls or list columns that you want to add to the layout.

   If the Controls/Columns window is not displayed, select View > Windows > Controls Window.

5. Drag the controls or list columns and drop them onto the applet layout.

   The controls and list columns appear in the layout canvas and the corresponding Web Template Items are automatically created.

   NOTE:  In applets based on grid layout applet Web templates, labels and controls are treated as separate items to provide more flexibility when designing the form layout. However, this requires you to map both the control and its corresponding label onto the applet layout. Note that a label has the same name as its corresponding control, except that it is appended with the word label. For more information, see About Grid Layout.
