Converting Applets By Changing the Web Template


You can also convert applets to a grid-based layout by changing the Web template associated with the applet. In Siebel Tools, change the Web template file associated with each applet mode to a template that supports a grid-based layout.

There are two applet Web templates that support grid layout. See Table 39.

See About Grid Layout Templates for more information.

To convert an applet to grid-based layout by changing the Web template

  1. In the Object Explorer, select the Applet object type.
  2. In the Object List Editor, select the applet that you want to convert to a grid-based layout and then right-click and choose Edit Web Layout.

    The applet must be based on one of the supported applet classes and one of the applet Web templates listed in Supported Applet Classes and Applet Web Templates.

  3. In the Web Controls toolbar, click the Change Template button.

    If the Web Controls toolbar is not displayed, choose View > Toolbars > Web Controls to display it.

    The Choose Template dialog box appears.

  4. In the Choose Template dialog box, select one of the following templates:

    For form applets, select Applet Form Grid Layout.

    For pop-up form applets, select Applet Popup Form Grid Layout.

  5. Repeat Step 4 for each applet mode.

    After associating a grid layout template with each mode of an applet, you can edit the applet layout using the Web Layout Editor.

    For general instruction on editing the layout of applets, see Editing the Web Layout of Applets.

    For information on editing applets using grid-based layout features, see Supported Applet Classes and Applet Web Templates.
