Using Siebel Tools >

What's New in This Release


Using Siebel Tools is a new book title for version 7.7 that covers how to use the Siebel Tools application. It describes the Siebel Tools user interface and includes tasks such as, customizing the Siebel Tools environment, working with objects, checking in and checking out, and compiling. Using Siebel Tools does not cover how to configure Siebel applications. For example, it does not cover how to extend the data model, define business logic, or build user interface objects. For configuration-related information, see Configuring Siebel eBusiness Applications.

The content covered in Using Siebel Tools came from the following documents:

  • Descriptions of menus and toolbars were previously published in Siebel Developer's Reference.
  • Descriptions of windows, editors, and most tasks were previously published in Siebel Tools Reference.

    NOTE:  Siebel Tools Reference is no longer published. It has been replaced by Using Siebel Tools and Configuring Siebel eBusiness Applications.
