Creating a Form Applet in Web Tools Using a Wizard

To create a Form Applet using the wizard

  1. Open an editable Workspace.

  2. Click the Magic Wand icon to open the wizard library.

  3. Click the 'A' icon with the caption Applet.

  4. Click Start.

  5. By default, the Form Applet radio button is selected.

  6. Click Next.

  7. Enter the appropriate data in the Fields.

    Field Description

    Name

    This is the name for your new Applet.

    Project

    The Project to associate to your new Applet.

    Business Component

    The Business Component from which you will choose Fields and whose data the Applet will handle.

    Upgrade Behavior

    Choose how Siebel CRM upgrades the applet during an upgrade.

    Display Name

    		 Optional. This is how you wish the Applet name to appear when displayed in the user interface. By default, this value will be the name of the Business Component chosen.
    Note: You can uncheck the Use Grid Layout checkbox, but it is recommended that you leave it checked. The Grid Layout Web Template allows you to use such features as Tab Layout configuration and the Applet Format Toolbar. If you do not use the Grid Layout Web Template, you cannot use these features to configure the Applet.

  8. Click Next.

  9. Choose the Business Component Fields you would like to display as Form Controls in the Applet and move them to the right of the wizard’s Fields Applet.

  10. Click Next.

  11. Choose the Controls that you wish to have on the Form Applet such as NewQuery for example. Move them to the right of the wizard’s Controls Applet.

  12. Click Next.

  13. If you unchecked the Use Grid Layout checkbox, you will have to choose a Web Template. If you left the Use Grid Layout check box checked, a Web Template is automatically selected for you. Choose the Web Template that you would like to use for each Applet Mode. Usually, in a Form Applet, Edit mode is the most relevant. Base mode is to make the Applet appear read only. But you would then have to maintain two copies of the Applet and there are better, more dynamic ways to make an Applet read only without having to use the Base mode.

  14. Click Next.

  15. Review your choices in the Summary Applet. Click Finish if you are satisfied with the choices or Previous if you wish to change something.

  16. When the wizard completes you can navigate to your Applet and further configure it.
