Pageset Administration Screen


Use the Pageset Administration screen to work with and to specify all the information related to pagesets. A pageset contains all the feature and configuration data for a product, along with information on how that data should appear inside the completed application.

For example, if you are creating a browser-based Configurator application to configure automobiles, each pageset would contain all the information about one model of car. You would use the views of this screen to specify this information.

Feature Tables View

Feature Tables view is used to enter information about the features in this pageset. Each Feature table represents a single feature, and contains all possible values for that feature.

For example, if you are creating a browser-based Configurator application to configure automobiles, each pageset would contain all the information about one model of car. One feature table for the pageset would list all the colors available for this model. A second feature table would list options available for this model.

The Feature Tables tab provides two methods of creating feature tables, which you can view by scrolling down to see the list under the Feature Tables list:

  • Editor. Allows you to enter the feature table data directly.
  • Designer. Allows you to add columns to your feature tables, which you can associate with Siebel business component fields or Siebel classification system attributes.

For more information, see Process of Creating Interactive Designer Feature Tables.

Configuration Table Editor View

Use the Configuration Tables Editor view to enter all combinations of Feature table data, and to specify which combinations are valid. In the Configuration tables, you also write exception messages that appear when a user selects an invalid combination of data.

For example, if you are creating a browser-based Configurator application to configure automobiles, the feature table would specify which options are available with which color car. It would also specify the messages that are displayed if the user selects an invalid combination, such as "The sunroof is not available with a black car."

The Configuration Tables tab provides two methods of creating configuration tables, which you can view by scrolling down to see the list under the Configuration Tables list:

  • Editor. Allows you to enter the configuration table data directly.
  • Designer. Allows you to add columns to your configuration tables, which you can associate with Siebel business component fields or Siebel classification system attributes.

Input UI View

Use the Input UI view to specify the types of UI controls that display your Feature table values. Your Input UI control options are Check Box, Get Text, List Box, and Radio.

For example, if you are creating a browser-based Configurator application to configure automobiles, you can specify that the user uses check boxes to choose options and radio buttons to choose color.

For more information, see Creating Input UI Controls with Interactive Designer.

Output UI View

Use the Output UI view to determine the types of output UI controls that display in the Results page. Your output UI control options are Detail, Link, Pict, and Text. These UI controls are populated by values in the Configuration and Feature table columns.

For example, if you are creating a browser-based Configurator application to configure automobiles, you might use picture as the output. The application displays a picture of a car with the color and options that the user selected.

For more information, see Creating Output UI Controls with Interactive Designer.

Pageset Files View

The Pageset Files view lists the files that belong to a pageset.

You can associate additional files with the pageset by clicking New. A Files picklist opens, from which you can select and add a file, such as image files and product feature documents, to the Pageset files tab.

For example, if you are creating a browser-based Configurator application to configure automobiles, and you are displaying pictures of automobiles as output, you would add the pictures of the automobiles here.

For information about these directories and files, see the Browser-Based Application File Reference chapter in Siebel Interactive Designer API Reference.
