Configuring Spell Check

Siebel Spell Check is available for use by many Siebel eBusiness applications. This feature helps users, such as call center agents, identify spelling errors before sending out emails, faxes, or other text communications. For additional information on Siebel Spell Check, see Siebel eMail Response Administration Guide and Siebel Call Center User Guide.

Users can invoke Siebel Spell Check from an applet-level menu item. You configure this menu item by creating a "Check Spelling Field" user property for the applet where the Check Spelling button and the field to be checked are located. The workflow is described in the sections that follow.

  3. Edit the Web Applet template. After creating a Spell Check button, you add it to the template where it will appear. For information on performing this procedure, see To edit the Web Applet.
  4. Add the Spell Check business component to a business object. Next, you add the Spell Check business component to the business object of the applet containing the field to be checked.
