Mapping an Applet and Web Template to a Briefings View

Account, Competitor, and Company Briefings have a table of contents that lists the applets that appear on the page. Applets that contain data are displayed in the table of contents as hyperlinks. Applets that do not contain data are listed in the table of contents but are not displayed as hyperlinks.

The table of contents applets for the Account, Company, and Competitor Briefings are named:

• SI Account TOC Applet
• SI Company TOC Applet
• SI Competitor TOC Applet

If, for example, your organization is adding its custom TopNews applet to the Account Briefing, you would modify the SI Account TOC applet by adding the name of the TopNews applet.

Adding a Control to the Table of Contents Applet

To add an applet to a Table of Contents applet

1. Select the Table of Contents (TOC) applet that you want to modify.
2. Add a new control to the TOC applet to represent the applet that you want to display in the TOC.

   Other than the name, you can accept the default attributes for controls. Note that this control does not map to a field on the business component. It is simply a placeholder for the TOC entry that points to a specific applet.

   The following table describes the attributes of the control.

   Property	Example Value	Comments
   Name	TopNews	The name of the control must match the name of the applet you want to display on the TOC applet.
   Caption	TopNews	The caption is displayed in the TOC.

3. Select the Applet Web Template called TOC Items.
4. Add an Applet Web template item to represent the applet that you want to display on the TOC applet.

   Property	Example Value	Comments
   Name	TopNews	The name of the Web template item must match the name of the applet you want to display on the TOC applet.
   Item Identifier	706	TOC applets have three 10-item columns used to display the names of the applets that appear on the page. Web Template Item Identifiers determine the column and sequence of the items on the TOC. 501-510 displays in the left column. 601-610 displays in the middle column. 701-710 displays in the right column.
   Type	Control	Specifies whether the template is a Symbolic URL.

Adding an Applet to a Briefings View

If, for example, your organization wants to display TopNews data on the Account Briefing, you must add the TopNews applet to the Account Briefing view.

To map an applet to a view

1. Add the applet you created to the view where you want it to appear.
2. Map the Web template item to the view.

   NOTE:  Make sure that the order of the applets on the view is consistent with the order of the controls (applet names) on the TOC applet.
