Using the Applets Window

The Applets window is a window that displays information about a view and allows you to add applets to that view. It includes the List tab and the Icons tab. The Icons tab performs the same function as the List tab except it displays a generic visual representation of the applet type. For more information about editing views and applets, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

The Applets window includes the same items as the Controls and Columns window except it displays the name of the business object that the view references instead of the applet. For more information, see Using the Controls and Columns Window.

The example in this topic describes how to use the Applets window to add a form applet to the Account Address view.

To use the Applets window

1. Locate the Account Address view in the Views list.

   For more information, see Locating and Modifying an Object Definition in the Object List Editor.

2. Right-click the view you located in Step 1, and then click Lock Object.
3. Right-click the view you located in Step 1, and then click Edit Web Layout.

   Siebel Tools displays the Applets window and the View Layout Editor. For more information, see Using a Layout Editor.

4. Drag and drop a form applet from the Applets window to the following placeholder in the View Layout Editor:

   Child Applet (Hi Display Only)

5. In the Pick Record dialog box, choose Name in the drop-down list, enter the following query in the Starting With window, and then click Go:

   *Address*

6. Choose Account Service Address Map, and then click Pick.

   Siebel Tools adds the Account Service Address Map applet to the View Layout Editor.

7. (Optional) In the View Layout Editor, right-click the applet you added in Step 4, and then click Edit Applet Web Layout.

   You can now edit the Account Service Address Map applet. You can use the Controls/Columns window to add items. For more information, see Using the Controls and Columns Window.
