Table 65. Object Types Siebel CRM Uses to Display Images

|
Bitmap |
Allows you to associate an image file, such as a GIF file or JPEG file, with a Siebel object, such as a button control or field. It fulfills the following roles:
- Specifies an image that resides in the Siebel repository. This image can be in any format that the browser supports.
- Specifies the location of the image file and other properties, such as width and height.
A bitmap includes the following properties that Siebel CRM commonly uses:
- Height and Width. You can set the height and width of the image that Siebel CRM displays on the Web page. If you set these properties, then the Siebel Web Engine uses them for the width and height properties of the
img tag. This configuration allows you to create bitmap objects that share the same image file but that Siebel CRM displays with different dimensions.
- Alt Text. You can include text in the alt attribute of the image tag.
You do not use the other properties of the bitmap with a Web image. Example properties include Data and Transparent Color. |
Bitmap Category |
Allows you to group image files together according to function. Includes the following bitmap categories:
|
HTML Hierarchy Bitmap |
Allows you to configure Siebel CRM to display an image in a hierarchical applet, such as a tree applet. |
Icon Map |
Allows you to configure Siebel CRM to display an image for a field value. Includes the child Icon object type. |
How Siebel CRM Handles Image Files
Siebel CRM handles image files differently, depending on the file type:
- Imports BMP images into the Siebel repository. Sets the File Name field of the bitmap to read-only.
- Stores GIF and JPG files in the
public\lang\images folder of your Siebel installation. The bitmap references these files. Does not store GIF and JPG files in the Siebel repository.
Siebel CRM only defines images that it associates with Siebel objects as bitmap objects in the Siebel repository. Example objects include icon maps, page tabs, and so on. It does not associate some images in web templates, such as static images, with Siebel objects. It does not define these images as bitmap objects in the Siebel repository. It defines these objects in the configuration file that it uses for the Siebel application. The Siebel Web Engine (SWE) uses the HTML img tag to display a bitmap. Displaying Object Types You Use to Configure Icons
You must display the object types that you use to configure icons in the Siebel client. To display object types you use to configure icons
- Display the following object types:
- Bitmap Category
- Child objects of the Bitmap Category

- Child objects of the Icon Map
- HTML Hierarchy Bitmap
