Insert record position on the applet

There is a nice little feature in Siebel that would help us define the position on an applet when creating a new record. Let's say the user is on the view skimming through list of records and when the user is on the last record decides to create a new record. If there is a sort spec defined on the bc or applet then the user might loose focus after the record is created.

So to make sure the record is inserted in the last or first position on the applet there is a property on the applet, Insert Position. Most of us might not have seen this in Siebel 8 tools because its not displayed by default.So select Applets in object explorer and in the applet list right click and select Columns Displayed. In the list of available columns select Insert position.Now this should be one of the applet properties listed.

Now select an applet and change the property insert position for the applet to either FIRST or LAST. Compile the change and that's it.Next time when you create a new record the record will always be inserted in the first or last position. Well that's it for now...
