Activating or Suppressing an Applet Menu Item

You can modify an applet menu item that comes predefined with Siebel CRM. You can define a custom applet menu item. For an example, see the topic about defining a menu item to start a task UI in Siebel Business Process Framework: Task UI Guide.

You can activate or suppress individual applet menu items. You can use the configurations that this topic describes only for applet menus. You cannot use these configurations for application menus or for toolbars.

Siebel CRM includes some applet menu items in almost all applets, such as Copy, Edit, and Delete. It includes other applet menu items in almost all list applets, such as Columns Displayed. You can activate an applet menu to make a menu item available globally for applets of a class and subclass. You can then suppress it in applets where Siebel CRM must not display the menu item.

Caution: You cannot include a browser script in a business service that Siebel CRM calls from an applet menu item. The business service works only with a server script. If Siebel CRM runs a business service that includes a browser script from an applet menu item that resides on the Siebel Server, then the business service fails.

To activate or suppress an applet menu item

• Do one of the following:

  • Set the Suppress Menu Item property in the class method menu item.

  • Use an applet method menu item.
