Modifying the Display Name of a Customizable Product, an Example

---

You have a customizable product called Premier Workstation. You want to display your company logo to the left of the product name in the base theme. The logo filename is logo1.gif. You have placed the file in the Siebel installation subdirectory \PUBIC\enu\IMAGES (NT path syntax, English language installation).

Use the Product UI Designer to create the Web pages for configuring the customizable product. Validate the customizable product, and verify that the pages display correctly.

To create a new base theme Web template and assign it to the customizable product

In the customizable product Work Space record, click the select button in the Base Theme field and open the dialog box.
In the Pick UI Style dialog box and write down the filename of the base theme.
Open the base theme Web template and save it to a new file name: eCfgNewProductTheme.swt
Open the new template and locate the swe.control element. Set CfgFieldName=".NewProductName". The first character in the variable name must be a period (.). The variable name must be surrounded by quotes. Save the file.
In the customizable product Work Space record, click the select button in the Base Theme field and open the dialog box.
Click Add and add the new template. Then, select it as the base theme template.

To define a UI property for the customizable product

Open the User Interface Property Designer and select the customizable product.
Define a UI property for it as follows:
Name: NewProductName. Do not put a period before the name. This is the variable name you inserted in the template file.
Value: <img src="\images\logi1.gif"> Premier Workstation.
Open the Item Display Properties menu and click Validate.

This starts a configuration session. Verify that the customizable product display name is correct.
