name = Account Symbolic URL Popup Applet
buscomp = Account
web template = Analytics Applet
type = base
Select TestSymbolicURL field in the wizard to be included in the applet.
Deselect all button controls in the wizard.
The wizard will create control in the applet
Set the following control properties:

create child control user properties...
Popup = Account Symbolic URL Popup Applet
Popup Dimension = 500x500
4. Recompile SRF
5. Run the SRF against the database
In the Sitemap > Administration - Integration > WI Symbolic URL List > Symbolic URL Administration screen create a Symbolic URL definition record with following properties:
name = TestSymbolicURL (or TestSymbolicURL_Demo if testing against Sample database)
url = http://www.yahoo.com
