About Removing a Field

To remove a field from an applet, you must remove the following objects for the field:

• Label. References a symbolic string.
• Control. References a field in the Siebel database.

When you remove a field from the Web template, Siebel Tools unbinds the list column or control from the Web template. The objects remain intact as child objects of the applet, but Siebel CRM does not render them in the Siebel client.
