Using a Layout Editor

Siebel Tools includes the following layout editors:

• Applet Layout Editor
• View Layout Editor
• Web Page Layout Editor
• Applet Menu Layout Editor

A layout editor allows you to do the following:

• Add or map a control or list column to an applet layout.
• Modify an existing view or create a new view. You can drag and drop an applet to the View Layout Editor. You can view a list applet, a form applet, or the container page in Preview mode.
• Add or delete a control from a Web page template, modify a control property, or map a control to a placeholder.
• Edit the menu structure of a Siebel application. You right-click an applet in the Object List Editor, and then click Edit Web Menus.
• Preview an approximation of how Siebel CRM displays an applet or a Web page at run time.
