Siebel Partner Portal Screens

---

After employees of partner companies log in, they see a Web site similar to the one shown in Figure 1. Partners see only the screens that are appropriate to their responsibilities and screen tabs that are appropriate to their role.

Figure 1. The Siebel Partner Portal Web Site

The home page includes a list of tasks that are associated with the partner's role. For example, if the partner employee has the role Sales Representative, the home page will have a My Tasks applet, with hyperlinks that the employee can click to perform common tasks for sales representatives, such as viewing and updating opportunities, which you set up using the Role Administration screen. For more information about roles, see Administering Roles.

Partners click the tabs of the Siebel Partner Portal to use the following Siebel PRM screens. These screens generally have many views, as screens typically do in your own Siebel application.

NOTE:  As an overview, this list includes all the screens of the Siebel Partner Portal. When an employee logs in, the screens that are available are limited by the employee's responsibilities and the screen tabs that appear are limited by the employee's role.

Siebel Partner Portal includes the following screens:

Home. Greets the partner employee by name and provides links to the employee's current work. The partner can click any of these items to view more information about it.
Opportunities. Displays sales opportunities that you assigned to the partner. The partner can also enter new opportunities here, and you can view them using the Siebel Partner Manager.
