Task Playbar Applet

The task playbar applet is a type of applet that includes buttons that allow the user to control the task UI. It is a required UI element that Siebel CRM can display in the header or footer area of a task view. The task playbar applet, shown in the example image in Current Task Pane, includes the Pause, Previous, Next, and Cancel buttons.

If necessary, you can use a custom playbar applet to modify the look and behavior of the task playbar. You can do the following:

• Use the following applet Web templates:

  • Applet Task Playbar - Bottom (note that this appears in the footer area of a task view)

  • Applet Task Playbar - Top (note that this appears in the header area of a task view)

• Use the CSSSWEFrameTaskPlaybar frame class. This class allows the applet to handle navigation buttons and to turn on or turn off some of the buttons, depending on the business requirement.

If you define a specialized playbar applet, then you can copy and modify the following templates:

• CCAppletPlaybarButtons

• CCAppletPlaybarBottom

• CCAppletPlaybarTop
