Contents Lists for Advisor

For Advisor, there are two types of contents lists:

• Personalize Content List

  Clicking Get Advice displays the Personalize Content List, which shows all of the available Advisor applications in a preconfigured system. Administrators can personalize the list of Advisor applications that specific users and user groups see when they click Get Advice by writing personalization rules and tagging specific pagesets. For more information, see Siebel Personalization Administration Guide. For more information on display of pagesets, see Managing the Display of Pagesets in Advisor.

• Standard Contents List

  You can manage the display of the contents list in the Application UI Definition file or a Pageset UI Definition file. For more information, see Customizing the UI of Interactive Designer Pages. You can use the contents list table to define the hierarchy and links of the contents list entries in the application. To define other HTML properties, such as background color or the images used for bullets, use the cascading style sheet, located at \pg\onlink.css, that defines the look and feel of the contents list.

You can use the default project (DefaultProject) and contents list (prodlistdata) as a high-level index from which your application references a number of projects and pagesets. For example, you may use the default project to contain only the default contents list, which acts as a root list that links to other projects and contents lists.

The default project and contents list files are located in the ISSRUN\CDAPROJECTS\ENU directory on the server on which you installed Interactive Designer. Whether or not you use them, do not delete the default project and its contents list.
