Applications Administration Guide > Correspondence > Creating and Updating the SIEBEL.HTML FileAbout the SIEBEL.HTML FileThe SIEBEL.HTML file is the data interface between the Siebel application and Microsoft Word. During the document generation process, the Document Server exports merge data into the SIEBEL.HTML file. Microsoft Word then reads this file and inserts the data into the merge fields in the correspondence template. When you create correspondence templates, the SIEBEL.HTML file that you generate from a blank template is used as the data source file, determining which merge fields can be added to the correspondence template. Figure 24 shows a portion of a SIEBEL.HTML file. The column headers represent database fields and the cells contain the values of those fields for the mostly recently generated correspondence. Administrators can augment the set of merge fields available using Siebel Tools. For information, see Configuring Additional Merge Fields For Correspondence Templates.
