Siebel Consultant Diary of a Siebel Consultant

DefaultFocus

Since my knowledge of Siebel is far from complete, I’m still learning new stuff every day. Yesterday I was working on a little requirement that said that the tab order on the Service Request applet should have a logical order. So I set the tab layout and when I tested it, everything was ok, but when I wanted to create a new Service Request, the cursor automatically showed up in the Contact field instead of the Contract field which was tab n° 1.

After looking in supportweb and asking my colleagues for advice I stumbled upon the DefaultFocus_New Applet User Property where you can specify the field that should have the focus on creating a new record.

Who know’s how much time I would have spent looking to solve this problem if I didn’t found this user property.
