Siebel Medical Handheld Guide > Application Development > Configuring User Interface Elements in Siebel Handheld > Configuring List Applets for the Handheld ClientYou configure list applets and list columns for Siebel Handheld applications the same way you configure them for other Siebel applications. Recommended Strategy for Configuring List AppletsThe recommended strategy when configuring the Siebel Handheld Client is to use the list applets for record navigation and to rely on form applets to provide the record details. The following are additional guidelines to follow when designing list applets:
These changes can minimize the amount of horizontal scrolling and column reordering that users must do. Limiting the number of list columns to those that are essential minimizes the amount of data downloaded to the device, resulting in faster synchronization times and more economical use of device memory. NOTE: All required fields on form and list applets appear with an asterisk (*). If an administrator specifies that a field is required, the field appears with an asterisk in the user interface. Use Siebel Tools to modify, or rearrange List Columns. For more information on the List Column options, see Configuring Siebel eBusiness Applications. You may make columns available, but not visible by default, by setting the Show In List property of the column to FALSE. From the Siebel Handheld application, you can make the columns visible from the View > Columns Displayed menu option. In order for the change to be reflected in the application, you must compile the application and synchronize with the handheld device. In addition, you must delete the \Program Files\Siebel Handheld\siebel.ssf file on the handheld. If this file is not deleted, the change to the Show In List parameter is not reflected in the application. |
