Displaying a Subset of Fields or CRM Records

You can configure Siebel CRM to display a subset of fields in a form applet or a limited number of CRM records in a list applet. If the user clicks Show More, then the applet displays more fields or records. The applet includes a Less mode and a More mode. The user can toggle between these modes to display more or fewer controls or list columns.

The Mode property of the applet web template item determines the mode that Siebel CRM uses to display a control or list column. For more information, see Displaying a Field Only If the User Chooses Show More.

If no web template item is defined in the More mode for an applet, then Siebel CRM does not display the Show More or the Show Less button. Siebel CRM does not support the more or less feature for a pop-up applet. For more information, see Configuring Pop-Up Applets and Windows.
