Comparison of the Task Applet to the Standard Applet

A task applet differs from a standard applet in the following ways:

  • A task applet references a transient business component. Siebel CRM uses a transient business component to display data from a task that it discards when the task ends. For example, data that it displays to allow the user to choose values that create the branching condition of a task. The next task step that Siebel CRM displays might vary, depending on the value of the transient data that the user chooses.

  • A task applet includes the CSSSWEFrameTask specialized frame class.

  • A task applet is of type Task. A standard applet is of type List, Form, Tree, or Chart.

  • A task applet uses only on a grid Web template. For more information, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.
