Applets

Follow these guidelines when copying or creating applets:

When you create a new applet, make sure you set the class property correctly. The type of applet you require determines the appropriate value for the class property. To simplify the creation of the many records and settings necessary to make an applet function correctly, Siebel Tools has a number of wizards that help simplify the process. For information on accessing these wizards, see Siebel Tools Reference. Table 11 lists the default class for each type of applet.

Table 11. Default Classes for Applets
Applet Type	Class
Chart	CSSFrameChart
Form	CSSFrame
List	CSSFrameList
MVG	CSSFrameList
Pick	CSSFrameList
Tree	CSSFrameTree

You should never need to alter the class property for an applet. The default settings have been preconfigured to allow the applet to function correctly.

To create functionality on an applet that is identical to another applet, copy the applet whose functionality you want to mimic and adjust the copied applet to fulfill your requirements. However, be aware that in some cases the class for the applet and the class for the business component work together to provide the functionality. For example, the Campaign Contact/Prospect applet has a class property of CSSFrameCampaignContactList. The associated business component is Campaign List Contact, which maps to a specialized class of CSSBCCampaignContact. In this case, the class for the business component and the class for the applet work together to provide certain functionality, such as the functionality for the Create Opportunity button.
