Using the eHospitality Home Page

When a user logs in to the Siebel eHospitality application, the eHospitality home page appears.

Figure 6. Siebel eHospitality home page

The purpose of the home page is to alert users to recent status changes and provide quick access to other views with additional functionality. The home page displays the following lists:

My Pending Events

My Events

My Quotes

My Current Activities

All Event Invoices

All Orders

To accommodate this information on one screen, each list on the home page displays a maximum of five records. The following criteria determine which records are displayed:

Search criteria for the list and the business component associated with the list. For example, My Pending Events records must have Status=Pending.

Sort criteria for the business component associated with the list. For example, My Pending Events is associated with the SHM Transfer Event business component, which is sorted by Turnover Date, in descending order, so that most recent dates are shown first. Sort criteria can be modified in Siebel Tools.

If more than five records satisfy the list's search criteria and have the same values for the business component's sort criteria, the records that are displayed are determined by the method the database uses to retrieve records.

Lists on the home page do not contain Previous and Next buttons to allow users to scroll through additional records. The following procedure describes how to view additional records for any home page list.

To view additional records for a list on the home page

From the Siebel eHospitality home page, click any hyperlink in the list that interests you, or click the title of the list. Depending on which list you choose, a different screen appears, containing additional information and providing Previous and Next buttons for list scrolling. Table 3 shows the lists and forms displayed for each home page hyperlink clicked.
