Displaying Applets Differently According to the Applet Mode

This topic describes how to configure Siebel Open UI to display applets differently according to the applet mode. It includes the following topics:

The applet mode is a type of behavior of an applet Web template that determines whether or not the user can or cannot create, edit, query, or delete Siebel CRM records in an applet. Edit, Edit List, Base, New, and Query are examples of applet modes. This topic describes how to modify the presentation model, or to modify the physical render and Web templates, to set the applet mode for an applet.

You can use a Web template to modify the physical layout of objects in the client that the Siebel Server renders as containers, such as the markup for an applet container. You can also use a physical renderer to modify how the client renders objects in the client, for example, to modify the markup that it uses to display a grid, menu, or tab.

For more information about applet modes and how to configure them in Siebel Tools, see the topic that describes how to control how the user creates, edits, queries, and deletes CRM data in Configuring Siebel Business Applications.
