For an applet that requires product group visibility, use the class CSSSWEFAFrameListPGVisibility, or CSSSWEFAFramePGVisibility for Form applets. This class, during the initialization of the applet, uses GetPGVisibilitySearchspec to get a searchspec string using the business service FINS Product Group Visibility Service. SetNamedSearch sets the searchspec in the business component of the applet. When Execute is invoked later, the records are filtered according to the visibility rules.
Here are two examples of the searchspec returned by the business service for Opportunities:
(i) ( [FINS Product Group Id] = '88-263F5' OR [FINS Product Public Flag] = 'Y' )This is created when applet user property “FINS PGV UseBaseTable" set to N.
(ii) ( EXISTS ([FINS Product Group Id] = '88-263F5') OR EXISTS ([FINS Product Group Id] = '88-263F7') OR [FINS Product Public Flag] = 'Y' )This is created by applet with user property “FINS PGV UseBaseTable" is set to Y.
