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/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/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. In the Views list, locate the Account Address view.

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

  2. Right-click the view that you located in Step 1, and then click Lock Object.
  3. Right-click the view that 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 a form applet from the Applets window, and then drop it on the following placeholder in the View Layout Editor:

    Child Applet (Hi Display Only)

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

    *Address*

  6. Click 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 that 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/Columns Window.
