Customizing a Bitmap Category and a Bitmap

You can customize a bitmap category and a bitmap.

To customize a bitmap category and a bitmap

1. Display object types you use to customize icons.

   For more information, see Displaying Object Types You Use to Customize Icons.

2. In Siebel Tools, in the Object Explorer, click Bitmap Category.
3. In the Bitmap Categories list, create a new bitmap category or choose a predefined bitmap category.
4. In the Object Explorer, expand the Bitmap Category tree, and then click Bitmap.
5. In the Bitmaps list, create a new bitmap using values from the following table.

   Property	Description
   Name	Enter the name of the bitmap.
   Alt Text	Enter alternative text that Siebel CRM uses in place of the name property for a bitmap.
   File Name	Do one of the following: To create a bitmap for a BMP file, leave the File Name property empty. To create a bitmap for a GIF file, enter the name of the image file in the File Name property. If the image resides in a subfolder of the image folder, then include the subfolder. For example, for an image named image.gif: That resides in the eapps/public/enu/images folder, set the File Name property to image.gif. That resides in the eapps/public/enu/images/bttns folder, set the File Name property to bttns/image.gif.
   Height	Enter the height of the bitmap, in pixels.
   Width	Enter the width of the bitmap, in pixels.

6. If you must create a bitmap for a BMP file, then do the following:
   1. Right-click the record in the Bitmaps list, and then choose Import Bitmap.
   2. In the Open dialog box, locate the BMP file that you must import, and then click Open.

      Depending on the image you choose, Siebel Tools sets certain properties, such as Height and Width. It also imports the BMP file into the Siebel repository the next time you compile.
