About the Document Server

The Document Server is required for Siebel Correspondence, Siebel Presentations, and Siebel Proposals. The Document Server is used to generate Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint documents.

About Running Document Server Functionality on Siebel Mobile Web Clients

This chapter focuses on installing and setting up the communal Document Servers that are used by (connected) Siebel Web Clients. However, the Siebel Document Server functionality is available for the Siebel Mobile Web Client as well. For example, this allows field sales representatives to generate proposals, presentations, and correspondences while traveling.

In the case of the Siebel Mobile Web Client, it is necessary that Microsoft Office be installed locally on the mobile machine to act as the Document Server.
