Views

---

A view is a collection of applets that appear at the same time on the same screen. A view can be thought of as a single window's worth of data forms (applets). Generally, a Siebel application window displays one view at any one time. The currently active view is changed by selecting a different view from the view tabs or from a menu suboption in the Site Map.

CAUTION:  Do not modify Server Administration views.

Information in these views is read from the siebens.dat file and displayed in the user interface by the Server Manager. Configurations made to these views would also have to be made to the siebens.dat file. However, it is not possible to configure the product to store such information in siebens.dat. Therefore, configuration of server views is neither recommended nor supported.

Views are typically of the following styles:

• List-form view. In a list-form view, a list applet and a form applet display data from the same business component. The list applet appears above the form applet. The form applet presents the same information as the currently selected record in the list applet, with a different arrangement that may include more fields.

  List-form views are described in List-Form Views.

• Master-detail view. In a master-detail view, a form applet and a list applet display data from two business components related by a link. The form applet appears above the list applet. The form applet displays one record from the master business component in the master-detail relationship. The list applet displays all of the records from the detail business component that have as their master record the record currently displayed in the form applet.

  Master-detail views are discussed in Master-Detail Views.

  NOTE:  Master-detail views can display multiple master-detail relationships, with a different applet for display of records from each detail business component.
