Disabling the Reports Button

1. Log in to the Siebel application with administrator privileges.
2. Navigate to the Administration - Application screen, and then the System Preferences view.
3. Query the System Preference field for ReportEngineType, and then set the System Preferences value using values from the following table.

   System Preference Value	Description
