Tree Node


Siebel Object Types > Applet > Tree > Tree Node

Corresponds to one folder that the user sees in a tree applet. It has a label and an applet. The label determines the source of the text displayed next to the folder. The applet specifies the name of the applet that is displayed in the right half of the view when the user opens the folder. The tree node also has a position identifier, which is a set of integers separated by periods, such as 1.1.2, identifying the node's level in the hierarchy and its sequence on its level.

Trees and tree nodes are usually created and edited in the Applet Designer.

Properties

Property
Description/Usage
Valid Values/Examples
Applet (O)
When the user clicks on the corresponding node in the tree, the applet opens on the right side. This will typically be a list applet, although that is not required.
If the Applet property is left blank, nothing opens in the right-hand side of the view, which may be desirable in some situations.
 
Bitmap Category (O)*
Not supported.
Not applicable.
Bitmap Index (O)*
Integer used to select a bitmap for the document symbol as a subset of a multiimage bitmap.
Set this to a value of 5 = document symbol.
Used internally.
 
Bitmap Index Field (O)*
Not used.
Not applicable.
Business Component (O)
The business component that populates values in this tree node. This is the same as the business component specified in the applet invoked by this tree node.
 
Display Name (O)
The text that appears next to the folder corresponding to the tree node.
 
HTML Closed Bitmap (O)
Bitmap object that defines the attributes of a closed folder image. The Bitmap object must belong to the HTML Hierarchy Icons Bitmap Category.
This property, when not empty, will override the Close Bitmap property of the HTML Hierarchy Bitmap object.
Used by the Siebel Web Engine.
 
HTML Open Bitmap (O)
Bitmap object that defines the attributes of an open folder image. The Bitmap object must belong to the HTML Hierarchy Icons Bitmap Category.
This property, when not empty, will override the Open Bitmap property of the HTML Hierarchy Bitmap object.
Used by the Siebel Web Engine.
 
Label Field (O)
The field name in the business component that the system uses to populate the names of the document object definitions under this tree node.
 
Max Child Items (O)
An integer that sets a limit on the number of child items that will appear under the tree node.
An arrow appears to let the user scroll further if desired.
 
Name (R)
Name of the tree node object definition. Must be unique within the tree object definition.
 
Position (R)
Pair, triplet, and so on of integer values separated by periods indicating the hierarchical level of the tree node in the tree structure and the sequence of the tree node at its level.
The top node is position 1. The first (sequentially) of the first-level subordinates is 1.1. The number of integers provides the level, and the value gives the sequence at that level.
 
Recursive (S)
A TRUE or FALSE value indicating whether or not the tree is recursive, that is, having only one object type (node), whose children are of the same object type, down to some unspecified number of levels.
For example, accounts can have subaccounts, which themselves have subaccounts.
TRUE = The tree is recursive.
Recursive Link (O)
The name of the link object definition that describes the relationship within the business component's record structure.
Used for recursive trees.
 
Root Search Spec (O)
A string value that qualifies the top level of the tree, primarily for recursive trees. The Root Search Spec setting identifies how to come up with the list of top-level records. Creates a starting point for the tree.
Example:  [Parent Account Id] is NULL.
Selected Bitmap Index (O)*
An integer indicating which bitmap, in a multiple bitmap file, to display when the record is selected.
Use the value 5.
 
Selected Bitmap Index Field (O)*
Not used.
Not applicable.
