Qualities of the Applet Mode

The applet mode includes the following qualities:

  • Is a property of an applet web template, which is a child of an applet.

  • Applies only to the active applet. For example, if the parent highest-level applet in a view is in Query mode, then the child lower applet is not in Query mode.

  • Siebel CRM associates each mode with a web template.

  • An applet can use one or more applet modes.

  • You can use the Mode list in the Controls/Columns window of the Applet Web Template Editor to modify the applet mode. The applet web templates that Siebel CRM defines for the applet determine the modes that are available in the Mode list. For more information, see Adding a Control or List Column to an Applet Layout.

  • Controls appearance of the minibutton. For more information, see MiniButton Control and MiniButton List Column.

  • A multi-value group applet typically uses the Popup List template. If you define base, edit, or edit list mode for a multi-value group applet, then Siebel CRM references the mode from the parent applet. If you define only the base mode for a multi-value group applet, then Siebel CRM uses the base mode for the multi-value group applet regardless of the mode of the parent applet. For more information, see Creating a Multi-Value Group Applet.
