Associating Records Using a Multiple Selection Dialog Box

Multiple selection dialog boxes allow you to associate many records with one record. Clicking the New button in multiple selection dialog boxes launches a shuttle applet. An example of the shuttle applet is shown in Figure 23. Depending on where you are in the Siebel application, you may be able to add new records from the shuttle applet.
