Using the Select Row Tag

You can use the select-row tag to create a generic list applet template that SWE can use with a list applet that does or does not support multirecord selection in the following locations:

  • In the list header. You can use the select-row tag to conditionally add a td tag for the header for the row selection check box column.

  • In the list body. You can use the select-row tag with the this tag to conditionally add a td tag that contains the check box.

You must place list applet controls and list columns in a form tag when you enable multirecord selection. Any method that resides on the applet requires that SWE submit the form that contains the row selection check boxes. For more information, see Form Tag.

If the user chooses multiple records, then Siebel CRM does not disable a control that does not support calling a method. This situation occurs because Siebel CRM does not call the Siebel Server if the user chooses multiple records. Instead, if the control is activated, then Siebel CRM sends a message to the user that states that it cannot do the action if multiple records are chosen.
