Configuring Siebel Open UI to Use Different Physical Renderers and Presentation Models According to the Applet Mode

The example in this topic configures Siebel Open UI to download different presentation models and physical renderers depending on the following mode that the Contact List Applet must use:

• Edit List mode. Download a file named list_PM.js for the custom presentation model and a file named list_PR.js for the custom physical renderer.

• New mode. Download a file named new_PM.js for the custom presentation model and a file named new_PR.js for the custom physical renderer.

You can use any name for your custom presentation models and physical renderers.
