The Link App View Tool

Using the Link App View tool, you can add links from a page to a particular view in the Siebel application.

For example, you might want to add a link from your sales representatives' home page to the My Expense Reports view on the Expense Reports screen.

To create a link from a page to a view in the Siebel application

  1. In the Page Designer view, select the page to which you want to add a link to a view in the Siebel application. (See Step 1 and Step 2 in the To create a navigation link between Microsite Management pages procedure.)
  2. From the Page Designer toolbar, drag the Link App View tool to the position on the layout where you would like the application link to appear.
  3. In the Link Application View dialog box, complete the fields.
