Configuring Attachment Applets

---

Attachment applets use functionality built into the Siebel file system. Various specialized objects and methods are provided in the Siebel File System that provide the attachment support and synchronization capabilities:

• An attachment applet is based on an attachment business component. The details of attachment business components are discussed in the section Configuring Attachment Business Components.
• An attachment applet has the Class property set to either CSSFrameListFile or CSSFrameFile. CSSFrameListFile is used for attachment list applets. CSSFrameFile is used for attachment form applets.
• The Name list column or text box control has a Detail Applet property setting of File Popup Applet. This refers to the dialog box that appears when you click on the ellipsis button in the list column or text box.

Several of the list columns or controls in the applet are based on corresponding fields in the attachment business component. This business component is described in Configuring Attachment Business Components. These will typically include those listed in Table 52.

Table 52.  List Columns or Controls in an Attachment Applet

Display Name	Field	Type
Name	xxxFileName	TextBox
Local	Dock Status	CheckBox
Request	xxxFileDockReqFlg	CheckBox
Size	xxxFileSize	TextBox
Type	xxxFileExt	TextBox
Modified	xxxFileDate	TextBox
Auto Update	xxxFileAutoUpdFlg	CheckBox

The "xxx" prefix refers to a standard prefix found in the names of the fields in the attachment business component. For example, for account attachments the prefix is "Accnt" and the actual field names referenced from the applet would be AccntFileName, AccntFileDockReqFlg, and so on.
