The User's Experience


You can configure a catalog to display in Siebel employee applications and in selected customer and partner applications, such as Siebel eSales and Siebel PRM Partner Portal, as a default functionality.

In an employee application, such as Siebel Call Center, a user can see categorized data controlled by access group membership in the Info Center and Info Center Explorer screens.

As shown in Figure 35, Info Center Explorer provides a tree interface for navigating all the catalogs to which the user has access, down to the data item level.
