Creating a Menu Item to Start a Task

You can create a menu item on an applet that the user can click to start a task. For more information, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

To create a menu item to start a task

1. Under Commands in the Object Explorer, create a new command with the values shown in the following table.

   Property	Description
   Name	Type in a name for the command (which describes the logic that the command performs).
   Business Service	Select Task UI Service (SWE). Caution: Make sure that the business service you specify does not include a browser script. A business service only works with a server script. If an applet menu item on the Siebel Server calls a business service that includes a browser script, then the business service fails.
   Target	Select Server.
   Method	Select LaunchTask.
   Method Argument	Enter the name of the task.

   The task to open is defined in the properties of the command, so you must define a new command for each task.

2. Add a menu item to the applet menu that calls the command that is defined for the task.
