Creating a Button to Start a Task UI

You can create a button on an applet that a user can click to start a task UI. For example, a button labeled Update Contact Info in the standard My Contacts list. For more information, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

To create a button to start a task UI

1. In Siebel Tools, display the Control User Prop object type.

   Control User Prop is a child of the Control object type, which is a child of the Applet object type. For more information, see Displaying Object Types You Use to Develop a Task UI.

2. In the Applets list, query the Name property for the applet that contains the control that starts the task UI.
3. In the Object Explorer, expand the Applet tree, and then click Control.
4. In the Controls list, add a new control using values from the following table.

   Property	Description
   HTML Type	Choose MiniButton
   Caption	Define the Caption property so the user can readily identify the control.
   Method Invoked	Enter LaunchTask. This option is not available from the list of values. You must use the keyboard to manually type it in the property.

5. Make sure the control you defined in Step 3 is still chosen.
6. In the Object Explorer, expand the Control tree, and then click Control User Property.
7. In the Control User Props list, add a new user property using values from the following table.

   Property	Description
   Name	Choose Task Name
   Value	Enter the name of the task UI.
