Siebel Business Process Framework: Task UI Guide > Developing a Task UI > Developing a Task UI That Uses Transient Data >
Creating a Task Applet
If your task does not involve transient data, then you can use a standard applet instead. For more information, see Task Applet. If your task UI does require a task applet, then you can create it before you create the task view. For more information, see Creating a Task View. For an example of creating a task applet, see Creating the Task Applet. To create a task applet
- Make sure the following objects exist:
- In Siebel Tools, choose the File menu, and then the New Object menu item.
- In the New Object Wizards dialog box, click the Task tab.
- Choose one of the following icons, and then click OK:
- Task Form Applet
- Task List Applet
- In the General dialog box, define properties using values in the following table.

Display Title |
Optional. Enter the display title that Siebel CRM displays in the Siebel client. To display no title, you can leave the Display Title property empty. |
Task |
Choose the task UI that this applet must reference. If you do not choose a task, then you can reuse this applet with multiple tasks. If you choose a task, then you cannot use this applet with any other task. |

To choose a field, click it in the Available Fields window, and then click the arrow that points toward the Selected Fields window. You can hold down the SHIFT key to choose multiple fields.

The Finish dialog box displays. This dialog box displays properties that Siebel Tools uses to define the new task applet. You can click Back to return to an earlier dialog and make modifications, if necessary.

Siebel Tools creates the task applet and then opens the Web Template Layout Editor.
- Adjust the applet layout and modify properties for the controls, as necessary.
