Displaying a Parent Applet Field in the Title of a Detail Applet

You can display the value of a field from the parent record as the title of a detail form applet. Siebel CRM often uses a form applet as a detail applet. Displaying the title in this way helps the user to understand the relationship between the parent and child applet.

To display a parent applet field in the title of a detail applet

  1. In Web Tools, click Applet in the Object Explorer.

  2. In the Applets list, locate the detail applet web template you must modify, and then click the preview button.

  3. Relocate a text control into the placeholder for the title that is positioned on the Siebel IDE editing layout.

  4. Give the control a useful name, such as business component name Title.

  5. Modify the HTML Type property of the control to PlainText in the Property Pane.

  6. In the Field property of the control, choose the parent business component field whose value you must display, for example Name.

  7. Preview your changes in the desired application.
