Setting up Action Panel

The entity.setup() will invoke facet.setup_views() which will create the action panel.

Creating Client Area’s Layout

The entity.setup() will invoke facet.create() to create the page layout or load it from a template.

Setting up Client Area’s Look and Feel

The entity.setup() will invoke facet.setup() to setup the page’s look and feel which may include:

• removing template sections of the HTML page

• replacing HTML components

Loading Data

The entity.setup() will invoke facet.load() to load the initial data.
