Enabling Applets for Drag and Drop to the Dispatch Board Gantt Chart (Open UI Client)

By default, users can drag and drop only activities in the Unscheduled Activities list to the Gantt chart of the Dispatch Board. However, you can configure additional applets so that users can drag and drop activities on the other lists to the Gantt chart of the Dispatch Board. The Dispatch Board can include multiple source applets for the drag-and-drop event. In the following example task, you configure the FS DB Timed Out Activity List Ax Applet to allow users to drag and drop activities from the Timed Out Activities list to the Gantt chart of the Dispatch Board. For more information about performing configuration tasks with Siebel Tools, see Using Siebel Tools.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Dispatch Board (Open UI Client).
