Configuring MVG Applets

You can use the MVG Applet Wizard to create an MVG applet. It will help you define all the necessary object definitions for an MVG applet.

Always name multi-value group applets <BusComp> Mvg Applet. (Note the case sensitivity of Mvg.)

To create an MVG applet

1. Choose File >New Object from the Siebel Tools main menu.

   The New Object Wizard dialog box appears.

2. Click the Applets tab and then double-click the MVG Applet icon.

   The General page of the MVG Applet Wizard appears.

3. In the General Page, enter the following information for the applet, and then click Next.

   Field	Comment
   Project	Only locked projects appear in the picklist.
   Business Component	The business component that the applet is based on.
   Applet Name	A unique name for the Applet.
   Display Title	The name to appear in the user interface.

   The wizard will use information to create an applet object and define the required applet properties.

4. In the Web Layout-General page, enter the Web templates to use for the applet, and then click next.

   Typically, MVG applets use the Popup List template. For a complete description of templates, see Siebel Developer's Reference.

   MVG applets applets that have base, edit or edit list mode defined, inherited their mode from the parent applet. However, if an MVG applet has only base mode defined, then base mode is always used for the MVG applet regardless of the parent applet's mode.

   If you plan to include a New button on your MVG applet, you will also need to define an Edit mode manually, using the Popup Query template.

5. In the Web Layout - Fields page, select the fields that you want to appear on the applet, and then click Next.

   The fields that appear in the Available pane are those fields defined for the business component that you selected in Step 3.

6. In the second Web Layout-Fields page, choose the controls in the Available Controls box that you want to appear on the applet, and then click Next.

   All the entries in the Selected Controls box are added by default. If you wish to exclude some of the controls and move them to the Available Controls box, select the controls and click the activated arrow.

   NOTE:  The available controls come from the "Model HTML Controls" applet. This applet specifies the available controls and also to which template each control is mapped. Users can modify this applet if necessary by adding or removing controls from the applet.

7. Review the information displayed in the Finish page, and then click Finish.

   The MVG Applet Wizard creates the applet and supporting object definitions based on the selections you made.
