HtmlViewService Service

The HtmlViewService service embeds Siebel Analytics Web HTML results in third-party dynamic Web pages, such as Active Server Pages (ASP) or JavaServer Pages (JSP), and portal frameworks. The embed process merges Siebel Analytics Web content with the content of third-party Web pages.

HTML methods extract fragments of HTML code that can be inserted in third-party Web pages. Table 26 describes the HTML code excerpts and desired page locations.

Table 26. HTML Code Fragments and Page Locations for the HtmlViewService Service
HTML Code Fragment
Desired Page Location

Header

Should be inserted in the <HEAD> section of an HTML page. The code contains links to common JavaScript files and style sheets.

Report Objects

Can be inserted anywhere in the <BODY> section.

Common Body

Should be inserted in the <BODY> tag after all report links. The code contains hidden HTML elements that are used to implement drilldown links.

For each returned report object, the HTML code fragment contains a callback link that is followed automatically when the Web page is loaded by the browser. The code fragment does not contain the full user interface definition of the report. While the report is being constructed by Siebel Analytics Web, the interface displays the Siebel Analytics Web "Searching..." image (the default image is a spinning arrow) embedded on the third-party Web page.

For smooth report transitioning, Siebel Analytics Web tracks the Analytics reports that have been added to a third-party Web page by maintaining information in an internal logical page object during the construction of the third-party Web page. The HtmlViewService service methods explicitly refer to the internal logical page by its ID.
