Differences that apply to the entire book are:

• Terminology. There are a few differences in terminology in Siebel Agent Portal:

  • The documentation for Siebel PRM in this book uses the term quotes and orders to refer to the transactional data that the user can display in the My Quotes view, the My Orders view, and so on.

In the Agent Portal, partners create both quotes and policies in the same screens; they use either the Personal Policies or the Group Policies screen to create a quote, and when it is purchased, it becomes a policy in the same screen.
• Cross-references. This book often refers to Siebel Applications Administration Guide for more information. For Siebel Agent Portal, in addition to this book, see Siebel Insurance Guide or Siebel Healthcare Guide.
