Enabling Application of Target Lists on an Applet
You can configure list applets and association list applets so that target lists can be applied to them. In order for a list applet to be configurable, the business component on which the applet is based must contain a multi-value ID field for the list category (accounts, contacts, employees, positions, or prospects). To configure list and association list applets so that target lists can be applied
- Create a multi-value link between the applet's business component and the List Mgmt Lists business component where:
- Destination Business Component is List Mgmt Lists.
- Destination Link is one of the following (as appropriate for the list category that is applied in the applet):
- Create a multi-value field for the applet's business component where:
- Multivalue Link is the multi-value link created in Step 1.
- Field is ID.
- For the applet's business component, create a user property called TargetProp (or TargetProp 1, TargetProp 2, and so on), and enter a value for the user property in the following form:
"Entity Display Name", "Multi-Value Field Name", "List Category"
where:
- Repeat Step 1 to Step 3 for each category of list that you want to apply to the applet.
- (If you are configuring a list applet, skip to Step 6.) If you are configuring an association list applet, create an Apply List button for the applet by completing the following steps:
- Create the ButtonApplyList control for the applet.
The values for the new control are described in the following table.
|
|
Name |
ButtonApplyList |
Caption |
Apply List |
HTML Type |
MiniButton |
Method Invoked |
ShowPopup |
- Create two control user properties for the new ButtonApplyList control.
The values for the two control user properties are described in the following table.
|
Value for 1st User Property |
Value for 2nd User Property |
Name |
Mode |
Popup |

SIA Apply Target List Applet - Simple |
- Edit the Applet Web Template for the association applet to add the new ButtonApplyList control to the applet's layout.
- (Optional) Add an "Apply List" item to the applet's menu button.
- Create an Applet Menu Method Item for the applet.
- If the applet's business component contains:
- Only one TargetProp user property, set Command to Apply List Popup-Simple.
- Multiple TargetProp user properties for the applet, set the command property to Apply List Popup.
- Set Menu Text to Apply List.
NOTE: If you do not complete this step, target list can still be applied using the Apply Target List button in the toolbar or using the application-level menu Edit, then Apply List.
