Configuring the Siebel Application

The user interface of the Siebel application, as delivered through the Web browser and the Siebel client, is made up of many interrelated elements. You configure many of these elements or their behavior by using Siebel Tools to modify Siebel object definitions, editing cascading style sheet (CSS) or Web template files, creating or modifying scripts, or modifying configuration files.

For example, most of the fonts used to display data and user interface elements in the Siebel application are specified by editing cascading style sheet files such as jctrls.css or main.css.

On the other hand, the font used in displaying charts is specified using the DefaultChartFont parameter. This parameter is defined in the configuration files, such as siebel.cfg, on the Siebel Mobile and Dedicated Web Client. It is defined on the Siebel Server as a parameter on the Application Object Manager.

For more information about configuration file parameters, see Configuration Parameters. For more information about Siebel Server parameters, see Siebel Server Administration Guide.

Global deployment and support of multiple languages and Unicode environments present some special issues, in particular concerning fonts used in the Siebel client. For more information, see Global Deployment Guide.
