Case study example: Creating multi value group (MVG) and association list applets

The process of implementing multi value fields requires the creation (or reuse) of multi value group (MVG) applets and, in the case of M:M relationships, association list applets. Both applet types are specialized list applets that include extra controls to provide a higher level of usability to the end user.

Because of the fact that the MVG applet wizard provided by Siebel Tools produces only a half-done artifact, it is recommendable to copy an existing MVG applet and modify the copy.

The following procedure describes how to create a new MVG applet for the previous case study example by copying an existing MVG applet:

1. 1. Navigate to the Industry Mvg Applet.

2. 2. Use the Ctrl+B keyboard shortcut to copy the Industry Mvg Applet.

3. 3. Modify the copy as follows:

   • Name: AHA Notes Mvg Applet

   • Project: AHA User Interface

   • Business Component: Note

   • Title: Public Notes

   • Associate Applet: (empty)

   • Comments: Created for AHA prototype; Copy...
