How Siebel CRM Uses an Applet Search Specification

An applet search specification is a search specification that resides in the Search Specification property of an applet. If an applet includes a search specification, and if the business component that the applet references includes a search specification, then Siebel CRM appends the applet search specification to the end of the value in the Search Specification property of this business component. It does not use the applet search specification to override the search specification on this business component.

If the user navigates to an applet that does not include a search specification, then Siebel CRM does not requery or use the existing search specification except in the following situations:

• The user navigates from a parent applet to a child applet. It uses an empty applet search specification.

• Siebel CRM modifies the visibility mode of the parent applet. It uses the applet search specification even if this search specification is empty.

If multiple applets in one view reference the same business component, then you must not specify different applet search specifications. You must make sure all of these applets use the same search specification or that all of these applet search specifications are empty.

An applet search specification can modify the query context for a user who performs a query.
