Behavior of Standard Interactivity Views in Siebel Open UI

The high interactivity client can display certain standard interactivity applets. However, Siebel Open UI does not support standard interactivity applets. When you convert high interactivity applications to Siebel Open UI, specific rules apply for converting those standard interactivity applets.

Siebel Open UI supports the following scenarios only when EnableOpenUI is set to True and HighInteractivity is set to True. If EnableOpenUI is False (Siebel Open UI is disabled), then all legacy checks apply. A standard interactivity applet is handled as follows in Siebel Open UI:

• Applet with no business component. An applet that does not have a business component upgrades automatically to Siebel Open UI. A standard interactivity applet has no custom renderers.
• Applets outside of a view.
  • An applet that is standard interactivity only because of it is outside of the view (although all other conditions pass for RIA qualification) upgrades automatically to RIA. (RIA is rich Internet application, and represents the Siebel application display mode for Siebel Open UI.)
  • An applet that is outside of the view and has custom renderers attached is blocked.
  • Applets with renderers as base standard interactivity renderers (CSSPopupSIRenderer, CSSListPopupSIRenderer, CSSHtmlSIRenderer) upgrade automatically to high interactivity, to the extent possible.
  • An applet that was standard interactivity only by the class definition in the repository is the best candidate for a straightforward conversion. Such applets upgrade automatically to RIA. Rendering might not be complete, because features such as links might not be fully supported. Recent records applets are implemented in Siebel Open UI as client-side artifacts, for example.

If a view has multiple applets with a combination of standard interactivity and high interactivity applets, then high interactivity applets are rendered and each standard interactivity applet is rendered as a rectangular outline containing a yellow exclamation point. In this use case, the image shown with a tooltip explanation is rendered to inform the user that the applet cannot be rendered.
