Adding Static Drilldowns to Applets

This topic describes how to add a static drill-down to a form applet so that the drill down object displays the name of the destination field, such as the primary account name, in the popup label when the user clicks a drill down link. If you do not do this configuration on a custom form applet that you create, then the drill down link displays the data from the field as the label, such as the account name, and not the caption text from the control. For information about how to configure a drill down on a form applet, see Article ID 539183.1 on My Oracle Support.

To add static drilldowns to applets

1. Create a static drilldown object on the applet that you must modify:
   1. Open Siebel Tools.

      For more information about using Siebel Tools, see Using Siebel Tools.

   2. In the Object Explorer, click Applet.
   3. In the Applets list, query the Name property for the applet that you must modify.
   4. In the Object Explorer, expand the Applet tree, and then click Control.
   5. In the Controls list, create the following control.

      Property	Value
      Field	Specify the same field that you specified in the Hyperlink Field property of the drill down object that you created in Step a.
      HTML Type	Text

      For more information, see the topics about creating static drill down objects in Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

   6. In the Object Explorer, click Applet.
   7. In the Applets list, right-click the record of the applet you are modifying, and then choose Edit Web Layout.
   8. Add the control that you created in Step e to the layout.
   9. Compile your modifications.
2. Test your modifications:
   1. Log in to the client.
   2. Navigate to the applet you modified, and then make sure it displays your new static drill down object with the correct label.

      For example, the following screen capture includes the correct Last Name label, and it displays the correct data in the field. If you do not do the configuration that this topic describes, then Siebel Open UI might display Last Name - Drilldown as the label and as the data in the field.
