we all know that, applets are the placeholder in a view and used for users to display/modify data. Then what is the necessary for different types in applets???

Lets see, for cases...

Case #1

Let us assume we're using only form applet for all the needs, then we may get large enough space to display more content/information about a single record in a page, but it is difficult to navigate when the record count is more

for example...

a user viewing service requests which are assigned to him then he/she feels difficult to view all the records with the help of form view


Case #2

Let consider another case, if we're using only list applet for all the pages, then it is easy for us to display more records in a single page, but user cant able view more detail about a single record

for example...

a user viewing service requests, then he/she can able to view more records in single page and can navigate between records easily, but he/she feels difficult to access/view more details about single records (since in list applet cant able to add more columns/even if we add it looks as long listing columns and user feels difficult in accessing a single record)


why different types of applet required...

different types of applets are used in Siebel to represent data depends on the hierarchy required on the particular page, means same form/list applet will give different representation the place it used in the page

list-form applet view...
  • holds list applet (top) and form applet (bottom) pointing same business component provides more records on top and whenever user navigates through records in list applet, then relevant record's detail informations gets displayed at bottom form applet
  • hence user can view multiple records as well detail information on the same page
  • for e.g, in account view, account form applet on bottom will give detail information about the record which is select on account list applet which is placed on top
form-list applet view...
  • holds form applet (top) and list applet (bottom) pointing different business component provides parent-child relationship
  • hence user can able to view a single record's child items/records at bottom
  • for e.g., order (form) and order items (list) applets view provides access to user to view a single consumer's order information and relevant items which he/she added with the order


so depends on data representation Applets in Siebel are categorized as...
