About Implementing Siebel Open UI

With Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.10 and later, you can deploy Siebel Business Applications using the Siebel Open UI user interface framework. Siebel Open UI uses an open architecture that allows you to customize and extend the Siebel user interface for your enterprise and, for Siebel employee and partner-facing applications, it provides an alternative to the high-interactivity client.

NOTE:  Oracle provides the functionality that this topic describes as part of Siebel Fix Pack 8.1.1.10. To implement Siebel Fix Pack 8.1.1.10, see the applicable Siebel Maintenance Release Guide on My Oracle Support.

Siebel Open UI is enabled at the Application Object Manager level. As a result, you can deploy single- interactivity clients, high-interactivity clients, and Siebel Open UI clients in parallel in a single deployment, provided an individual Application Object Manager is configured for each user interface type.

In the current version of Siebel Loyalty, all Siebel Loyalty functionality is available with Siebel Open UI with the following exceptions:

• Promotion Designer
• Siebel Loyalty Gantt chart options

Users who require access to the Promotion Designer functionality, or who want to view promotions in calendar format using the Gantt chart options, must continue to use Siebel Loyalty with high-interactivity clients or standard-interactivity clients. Users who do not require this functionality can use Siebel Loyalty with Siebel Open UI. For detailed information on Siebel Open UI, including the deployment options available, see 1499842.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.

NOTE:  The procedures in this guide assume that if you are using Siebel Open UI, you do not use left-hand navigation. However, you can set up left-hand navigation if you choose. For information about implementing left-hand navigation, see Siebel Fundamentals for Siebel Open UI.
