Overview of Configuring a Tree Applet

A tree applet is a type of applet that you can use to create an explorer view that allows the user to navigate hierarchically through a structured list of records of related business components. It displays hierarchically structured information in an expandable tree control. Siebel CRM displays the tree control in a frame at start of the applet. It displays detailed information for a chosen tree node in the details applet. Separate vertical frames allow the user to scroll through the contents of the tree applet independently from the detail applet. This is important because the tree structure can grow very large in length and width.

A tree item includes any of the following objects. Siebel CRM displays these objects in a tree:

• Root

• Branch

• Leaf

A tree node is a repository tree node. The <div od-type="node"> tag specifies the placeholder for a tree item. For more information, see About Siebel Tags.

A tree control can include repository tree nodes and field values as elements in the tree. Siebel CRM displays the following:

• Name for a tree node

• Field values for tree items
