User Interface Layer


The user interface layer for Siebel UCM Applications is interactive and customizable. It consists of two parts: the physical user interface layer, which includes templates and tags that render the user interface, and the logical user interface objects layer, which presents the data in the user interface. The physical rendering includes applets, charts, and reports. There are multiple presentation formats, including HTML, XML, and WML. The user interface layer contains no business logic. For further information about the user interface layer, see the Siebel Architecture Basic Concepts chapter in Siebel Tools Reference. The user interface layer is used for the administration of the Siebel eBusiness Information suite; see Administration of Siebel UCM Applications for further information.

Administration of Siebel UCM Applications

Siebel UCM Applications are administered through Siebel eBusiness Application user interface screens. However, only those screens necessary for viewing and administering the information contained within Siebel UCM Applications are included. An example of the Contacts screen appears in Figure 5.

The administration screens are used to look up small subsets of data.

Access Control is enforced at the user interface level for Siebel UCM Applications administration screens. Application Services Interfaces (ASIs) have full visibility of the data and run through the privilege check when accessing the CIF. For further information and procedures, see Siebel Tools Reference and Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.
