Detail Applets

Some applets have a detail applet defined for a control or list column. These are specialized applets that operate on that control or list column in a specific way. Usually these are pop-up applets that allow end users to enter data that is configured or formatted for a specific purpose.

The detail applets that are most commonly used are the Currency Popup applet and the File Popup applet (SmartScript). If you use the Currency Popup applet, the agent sees an icon next to the question’s input box at run time. Clicking this icon causes the applet to pop up, allowing the agent to specify the currency when entering an amount. Without this detail applet, a calculator appears, and the currency cannot be changed from one answer to the next. For a File Popup applet (SmartScript), the user can add a file to the record.

Note: Branching from a question can only be defined for answers that are defined as part of the SmartScript definition and not those selected from pick applets, or based on the list of values. If a user selects multiple responses to a question that uses multiselect check boxes, the default branch is used.
