Adding Titles to Results Using Siebel Analytics Title View

Use the title view to add a title, a subtitle, a logo, a link to a custom online help page, and timestamps to the results. Titles and subtitles are formatted using the style sheet in use at your organization.

A title view is always added to the results, as the first view.

To work with a Siebel Analytics title view

1. In Siebel Answers, create or modify the request with which you want to work, and then perform one of the following actions:
   • To add a new title view, click the Results tab and choose Title from the views drop-down list.
   • To edit an existing title view, click the Results tab, choose Compound Layout from the views drop-down list, and then click the Edit View button for the title view.

     The workspace shows the options and settings for the view.

2. In the Title text box, type the text to display as the title.

   NOTE:  The Title text box supports text only. Do not include HTML markup.

   If you do not specify a title, the name of the saved request used as the title. For unsaved requests, the Title text box is blank.

3. If you do not want the saved name of the request to appear, clear the following check box:

   Display Saved Name

4. (Optional) In the Subtitle text box, type the text to display as a subtitle.

   The subtitle text will follow the actual title, on a new line.

5. If you want to add additional formatting to the title or subtitle, perform the following actions:
   1. Click the edit buttons to the right of the Title and Subtitle dialog boxes.
   2. Make your choices for font, cell, and border options, and then click OK.

      NOTE:  If you type a new caption, it replaces the original title or subtitle.

6. If you want to provide a link to customized help or other information related to the request, type the appropriate URL in the Help URL text box.

   The URL should be one that is accessible to all users who will view this request.

7. If you want to display a logo image or other graphic, specify the appropriate path in the Logo text box.

   The image or graphic should be one that is accessible to all users who will view this request.

   You can use a function called fmap to reference images located in the current Analytics style directory. This packages custom graphics with the style and makes them portable.

   The fmap syntax is as follows:

   fmap:location/image_name

   where:

   fmap:	Begins the fmap function.
   location	The path to the folder in the current style directory (s_stylename), such as Images. For example: s_Siebel7/Images NOTE:  Logo images and graphics located in the current style directory should all be stored in the same folder.
   /	Required separator.
   image_name	The name of the graphic, for example: newlogo.gif

   The following is an example of a complete fmap command:

   fmap:Images/newlogo.gif

   You can also reference images stored in a folder within the current skins directory.

8. To display date and time information, perform the following actions:
   1. If you want to display the date or time when the request started to execute, select one of the timestamp options from the Started Time drop-down list.
   2. If you want to display the date or time when the request finished executing, select one of the timestamp options from the Finished Time drop-down list.
9. When you are done, you can save the request with the title view.
