Administering Tab Layout

To manage tab layouts, navigate to Administration - Application > Responsibilities and click the Tab Layout view tab.

The Tab Layout view (Responsibility Detail - Tab Layout View) is used for basic tab layout management tasks such as reordering or hiding screen and view tabs for different responsibilities, as well as for exporting and importing tab layouts. See Exporting and Importing Tab Layouts.

To let you manage screens and views for multiple applications, tab layout administration uses four lists:

• Responsibilities list. Includes all the responsibilities in the repository.
• Applications list. Includes all the Siebel applications in the repository, and specifies for which application you are managing tab layouts.
• Screen Tab Layout list. Specifies which screens are displayed for each application.
• View Tab Layout list. Specifies which views are displayed for each screen.

You must select an application because you may be administering responsibilities for a different application than the one you are logged into as an administrator. For example, you use Siebel Partner Manager to administer responsibilities for partners who will use Siebel Partner Portal.

To specify the tab layout for a responsibility

1. Log in as an administrator.
2. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Application > Responsibilities.
3. In the Responsibilities list, select the responsibility you want to associate tab layouts with.
4. Click the Tab Layout view tab.
5. In the Tab Layout list, select an application associated with the responsibility.
6. The Screen Tab Layout list displays all the screens used by the selected application:
   1. Select the Hide check box for any screens whose screen tabs will not be displayed.
   2. Change the numbers in the Order field to change the sequence in which the screen tabs are displayed.
7. Select each record in the Screen Tab Layout list, and the View Tab Layout list displays all the views for that screen:
   1. Select the Hide check box for any views whose view tabs will not be displayed.
   2. Change the numbers in the Order field to change the sequence in which the screen tabs are displayed.
