How Siebel CRM Builds and Displays a Tree Applet

To display a tree, Siebel CRM iterates through each item of the tree in a top-down, depth-first fashion, and displays one item at a time. Siebel CRM defines this behavior in the <div od-node="xxx"> tag.

Siebel CRM uses the <div od-indent="xxx"> tag to indent each tree item. It uses this tag to do the following:

• Place the text in the correct indent level relative to the root.

• Display the expand icon, collapse icon, the text of the item, and the links.

Siebel CRM uses a series of GIF images to do the indentation or to insert white spaces if in text-only mode. Siebel CRM uses images to display the expand icon and collapse icon, or to display text if in text-only mode. The <div od-type="indent-img"> tag defines these objects. Siebel CRM displays, as part of the view, the list applet that is associated with the currently chosen tree node. For more information, see Configuring Icons in a Tree Applet.
