/*****************************Set 6********************/

1. State model (restrict transition)

Ø Restrict the transition between states

Ø Restrict transition for login and position

If all the three Agreement items are closed then the Agreement should get closed. OR if all the Products in the Opportunity are lost then the Opportunity is also lost http://siebelunleashed.com/closing-service-request-–-scriptless-siebel/ http://siebelunleashed.com/updating-parent-based-on-child-records/#disqus_thread

2. Stastatic Drilldown: Drilldown on a field in the list applet navigates to the form (detail) applet. However, the record in the form applet is different from the one on which drill down was done. (say drill down is done on 10^th record 1-12ABC on the list applet but it navigates to 1-45XYZ in the detail applet). Why?

Dril Down

4. Dynamic Drilldown: The drilldown navigates to a view which is not specified in any of the conditions. Why?
