Configuring Client-Side Multi-Select

Siebel Open UI uses a client-side control implementation to display a Multi-Select check box column in list applets. While this is primarily intended for touch-based devices where multiple selection of rows is not possible using the Shift + Click or Ctrl + Click, it can also be configured for desktop browsers.

The Multi Row Select Checkbox Display user property controls the behavior and availability of the client-side multi-select check boxes. The property can have the following values:

• TOUCH-HIDE. The multi-select column does not appear on touch devices.

• TOUCH-SHOW. The multi-select column appears on touch devices.

• NONTOUCH-HIDE. The multi-select column does not appear on desktop and non-touch based devices.

• NONTOUCH-SHOW. The multi-select column appears on desktops and non-touch based Touch devices.

When the user property is not configured for an applet, the default behavior is to show the Multi-Select column on touch devices and hide the column on non-touch devices. Administrators can use the user property to override this behavior on a per-list applet basis.

To configure a multi-select check box for a list applet

1. Open Siebel Tools.
