Employee Applications

---

Employee applications are generally used by internal employees of an enterprise. Siebel Call Center and Siebel Sales are examples of employee applications. In these applications, the help system is delivered in HTML format, and the help is context-sensitive at the screen level. When a user accesses help, the application calls the Siebel Web Engine (SWE) GotoPage method, which uses SWE code to display the correct help topic in a separate browser window.

The start page of the employee applications help system is siebstarthelp.htm, shown in Figure 133. For information about using the help system, see Using the Employee Applications Online Help.

Help Source Files contains information about the files that make up the employee applications help system.
