Life Cycle Flows That Save Records

This topic describes the life cycle flows that Siebel Open UI uses to save records.

Flow That Saves Records If the User Uses a Shortcut

Figure B-1 illustrates the life cycle flow that Siebel Open UI uses to save a record if the user simultaneously presses the CTRL and S keys. The numbers in the diagram indicate the sequence that Siebel Open UI uses during this flow. The A connector connects to the flow described in "Flow That Saves Records If the User Uses the Save Menu".

Life Cycle Flows That Create New Records in List Applets

This topic describes the life cycle flows that Siebel Open UI uses to create a new record in a list applet.

Flow That Creates New Records in List Applets, Calling the Siebel Server

Figure B-9 illustrates the life cycle flow that Siebel Open UI uses during the call that it makes to the Siebel Server when it creates a new record in a list applet. Siebel Open UI typically calls the following methods during this flow: NewRecord, DeleteRecord, EditField, WriteRecord, and so on. For more information, see "DeleteRecord Method", "WriteRecord Method", and "NewRecord Method".
