How the Expression Property Determines If Siebel CRM Displays a Control or List Column

The Expression property of the applet web template item for the control or list column defines a condition that is specific to a Siebel application. The Expression property works like a search specification or query. If the Expression property:

  • Is empty, which is the default, then Siebel Tools displays the control or list column in all Siebel CRM applications.

  • Includes the name of a single Siebel application, such as Siebel eSales, then Siebel CRM displays the control or list column only in this Siebel application.

  • Includes a negation expression before the name of a single Siebel application, such as NOT Siebel Web Sales, then Siebel CRM does not display the control or list column in this Siebel application.

You must not define the Expression property directly. If you choose one Siebel application in the Application list of the Configuration Context toolbar, and then modify the applet in the Applet Web Template Editor, then Siebel Tools sets the Expression property.
