About Displaying Images in the Siebel User Interface

Several object types allow you to display images in the Siebel user interface. The object types include the following:

• Bitmap Categories. The Bitmap Category object type allows you to group image files together by function. For example, there is a category called Button Icons that contains all images for buttons on applets used in Siebel applications.
• Bitmap Objects. Defines images, such as JPG and GIF, that are referenced by UI objects such as buttons and controls.
• Icon Maps and Icons. Allow you to display images for field values.

  HTML Hierarchy Bitmaps. Allow you to display images in hierarchical applets, such as tree applets.

You use a combination of these objects for tasks such as:

• Creating Bitmap Categories and Bitmap Objects
• Defining Images Used in Hierarchical Objects
• Using Images as Links in Controls
