Specifying Defaults for Siebel Analytics Web Styles and Skins


You can specify which style and skin to use when users choose the default style at the Dashboard Properties screen in Siebel Intelligence Dashboards by adding entries to the Windows registry or the Siebel Analytics Web configuration file instanceconfig.xml:

If users do not make a choice, or if these entries are not present in the Windows registry or in the file instanceconfig.xml, the Siebel Systems styles and skins are used. These styles and skins are located in the s_Siebel7 and sk_Siebel7 folders in the \Web\App\Res folder in the Siebel Analytics Web installation directory.

For information about working in the Windows registry or the configuration file instanceconfig.xml, see Making Siebel Analytics Web Configuration Changes.

Specifying Which Siebel Analytics Web Style Folder To Use

You can specify which style folder to use in the \Web\App\Res folder when users select the Default option from the Styles drop-down list at the Dashboard Properties screen in Siebel Intelligence Dashboards. If your style folder begins with the characters s_, such as s_TestStyle, omit those characters from the entry.

  • Windows registry example:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.7

    DefaultStyle     TestStyle

  • instanceconfig.xml example:

    <DefaultStyle>TestStyle</DefaultStyle>

Specifying Which Siebel Analytics Web Skins Folder To Use

To specify the skins folder that is paired with the style folder you selected as described in Specifying Which Siebel Analytics Web Style Folder To Use, add the following entry. If your skins folder begins with the characters sk_, such as sk_TestSkin, omit those characters from the entry.

  • Windows registry example:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siebel Systems, Inc.\Siebel Analytics\Web\7.7

    DefaultSkin     TestSkin

  • instanceconfig.xml example:

    <DefaultSkin>TestSkin</DefaultSkin>
