About Implementing Siebel Open UI

You can deploy Siebel Business Applications with 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. For Siebel employee and partner-facing applications, it provides an alternative to the high-interactivity client.

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 Marketing, all Siebel Marketing functionality is available with Siebel Open UI except for the Program Designer functionality. Users who require access to the Program Designer must continue to use Siebel Marketing with high-interactivity clients or standard-interactivity clients. For detailed information on Siebel Open UI, including the deployment options available, see 1499842.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.

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.
