Guidelines for Creating a Control or List Column
This topic describes guidelines for creating a control or list column. It includes the following topics:
If you create a control or list column, then use the following guidelines:
- To simplify data entry, use the appropriate type of pop-up, if possible. For example, associate a calendar control with a date field, or a multi-line edit box with a multi-line text field.
- Left-align fields in a form or list.
- Right-align labels in a form.
- To accommodate multiple translations of a text string, include extra spaces in a display name or caption. For more information, see Using Siebel Tools.
- Associate a control for a form applet that uses the Applet Form 4 Column (Edit/New) web template to a field that is two columns wide, or to a field that is one column wide. To associate a control to a field that is two columns wide, you must set the HTML Width property to 412. If you do not create an HTML Width property, then Siebel CRM displays the control as a one column wide field even if it is associated to a two column wide field in a form applet.
