Adding Components to a Presentation

Components are the slides that make up presentations. Components can be added to sections from the Presentation Library, the Siebel Encyclopedia, or from another location, such as a local hard drive. More than one component can be added to a section.

The Presentation Library offers a hierarchical structure that administrators can use when designing literature components that can be associated with a presentation. Using the Presentation Library, end users can navigate to a section or subsection and select the component file associated with the section.
