How Siebel CRM Creates a List Applet

A list applet is a type of applet that displays multiple records at one time. It includes the following qualities:

• Uses multiple columns to display data in table format. Each row of the table represents a record from the business component that the applet references.
• Allows the user to scroll through multiple records of data and view several fields for each record.
• Associated with a single business component.
• A list column creates a relationship between the business component field and the applet web template item.

Explanation of Callouts

2. List column. Identifies one column in the list. It references one field in the business component.
