Query in Edit List Mode

Working on a Project without any issue is like watching batman movie without joker. An alien issue which has been bugging me from long time is how we can have different columns in list applet while opening in Query mode.

Consider an example of SR list applet. "Edit List" applet mode is being used in the View web template which displays SR Number, Status and Area but when user queries on this applet he should see Sub Area and Sub Status along with above fields in query mode. One go to solution is to use "Base" mode in View web template but this will not suffice other scenarios.

Any tip/thought/comment/break from you siebel champions will be of great help. Let the quest begins.

I've been facing a similar issue...
I have and MVG applet in Edit List mode and I want to hide some List Column when user switches to Query Mode (I have a Long Field on which Queries are forbidden). Unfortunately, my Query Mode Applet Template is not used when users switches to Query Mode. The Applet remains in Edit List Mode...

BEside, I've just discovered your blog... Really interesting :) Keep on posting :)

Hi Alex,
It is inspired by Sibel-essentials only...:)...Regarding this problem statement, if we have our applet in base mode then in the query mode we can have different template.

Hi Aubu,
