Creating Applications

Usually modifying existing applications is sufficient to meet most customers' business requirements. However, there are cases when creating a new application is necessary.

For more information about when to reuse existing objects and when to create new objects, see About Object Reuse.

To create the Web application definition in Siebel Tools

1. Using the Object List Editor, create a new Application Object and enter the required properties such as Name and Project.
2. Add a page container template to the application for your home page.
3. Select a default login page, error page, and acknowledgement page from the list of available Web pages.
4. Associate the Web application with screens.

NOTE:  You can also create a new application by copying an existing one and then modifying its properties and child objects. However, if there are application-specific fields on applets used by the original application, these fields (Applet Web Template Items) will not be available in the new, copied application because they are application specific, based on the application name.
