This tip has been shared by my friend Nitin Kumar.
Requirement:
When a person clicks New button in “Account List Applet” to create a new record, this record should be created as first record in applet.
Problem:
Usual behavior of Siebel is to create a record just above or just below the current record you have focus for example if in list applet I am on 7th record and click New button, new record will be created just above or below this 7th Record.
Solution:
Use Insert Position applet property to control the insert behvaior of Applet. Follow the steps given below to acomplish this
- Query for the list Applet in Siebel Tools for which you want to change the behavior
- Right Click on that applet and select Column displayed from the context menu

- Choose Insert Position from Available Column window and add it to Column Displayed

- Enter the value of this column as FIRST and compile the applet

Now, it doesn’t matter where you click new button on this applet your new record will always be created on the top as first record in applet.
The value in this field decides where the new record will be inserted in the applet and it can have one of the following four values.

Good one genius Nitin…
Interesting.. I haven’t heard about that before..
oh, why have I never used ‘Column displayed’ feature in tools? I thought every column is displayed.
I am gonna play a bit to see these vanilla-hidden columns.
Thanks for this tip Kumar and Neelmani.
Could not find Insert Position in coloumns displayed?
Is this available with siebel 7.8 version ??
The screenshots are from siebel 7.8 tools only.
Wow good tip, I also didn’t knew about it.
hai there is another property autoquery mode property
that takes always
NewQuery
RefineQuery
If you set New Query then it Applet Appears in Query mode first then after query excution it works..well done this is good work
and other things like
MVG values shown as list
like popup Applet shows availble records
but here like it shows values separated with comma’s
Iam going to publish this method in future thank you
