Modifying Applets to Display Additional Attributes

---

Now that the fields are added to the business component, the next step is to expose them in the user interface. NREC's design is to modify the default applets that appear on the Opportunities Detail View to include the new fields. These two applets are:

Opportunities List Applet (SCW)
Opportunities Form Applet (SCW)

An alternative would be to create new applets. However, modifying existing objects is typically a preferable method because it requires less configuration work and causes less problems with future upgrades.

The following procedures are the high-level steps required for modifying the existing Opportunities list and form applets to display new fields added to the opportunities business component. As discussed in the previous chapter, the procedures differ slightly for form and list applets. See Exposing Fields in the User Interface.

To expose the new fields on the Opportunity List Applet (SCW)

Navigate to the Opportunities List Applet (SCW).
Add the following List Columns.

Field	Display Name	Show in list
ZIP Code	ZIP Code	FALSE
Price Range	Price Range	TRUE
Square Feet	SQFT	TRUE
Number of Bedrooms	Bedrooms	TRUE
Number of Bathrooms	Bathrooms	TRUE

The list columns are now available to map to applet Web templates. The Show in list property determines whether the field will appear by default in the list applet. If the Show in list property is not set to true, users can add it to the list applet at run-time by choosing Display Columns from the applet-level menu.

Use the Web Layout Editor, to delete the following fields from the applet Web template.
Revenue, Sales Stage, Committed, Lead Quality, Probability, Probability %, Reason Won/Lost, Currency, Created, Description, Site, Address, City, State, ZIP, and Country.

NOTE:  Hold down the Ctrl key and select multiple controls on the applet Web template.

Map the list columns defined in Step 2 to the Web template.
Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each applet mode.

To expose new fields on the Opportunity Form Applet (SCW)

Navigate to the Opportunities Form Applet (SCW).
Add the following Controls.

Name	Caption	Field
ZIP Code	ZIP Code	ZIP Code
Price Range	Price Range	Price Range
Square Feet	SQFT	Square Feet
Number of Bedrooms	Bedrooms	Number of Bedrooms
Number of Bathrooms	Bathrooms	Number of Bathrooms

Using the Web Layout Editor, delete the following fields from the applet Web template.
Site, Created, Address, City, State, ZIP, Country, Probability, Committed, Sales Team, Lead Quality, Sales Method, Sales Stage, Lead Source, Revenue, Expected Value, Upside, and Downside.

NOTE:  Hold down the Ctrl key and select multiple controls on the applet Web template.

Map the controls you created in Step 2 to the Web template.
Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each applet mode.
