Declarative User Interface Customization

Siebel eConfigurator version 7 provides flexibility to customize the application UI to meet your business needs, without using Siebel Tools. You can create your own selection pages in a configuration session for each configurable product and service by selecting from a palette of predefined controls and associating these controls to items that comprise the product definition. For example, an administrator setting up the display for a PC can choose to display CPU options using a drop-down list and show hard-drive options as a series of radio buttons, and then choose from an assortment of predefined templates to provide a logical grouping of the various options that comprise the PC. You can also define your own controls and themes. The UI customizations are not hard-coded; they are created using administrative tools in a data-driven (declarative) fashion. They can be modified using either the run-time administration screens or by changing HTML templates.
