Publish

Moves the object definition of a task UI from the repository tables that reside in your development environment to the run-time tables that reside on the Siebel client. You can then use the administrative screens in the Siebel client to activate this task UI.

If you click Publish, then Siebel Tools modifies the status of the task UI from In Progress to Completed.

You can choose more than one task before you click the Publish button or the Publish/Activate button to publish and activate multiple tasks.

Publish/Activate

Publishes and activates a task UI with a single button click in Siebel Tools while in local mode. You must do the following work to use the Publish/Activate button:

• Set the VerCheckTime parameter. For more information, see Preparing Siebel Tools to Create a Custom Task UI.
• Use this button to activate a task UI only for debugging on a Siebel Web Client.
• To view the task, you must restart any Siebel client that is currently running.

If you run or test a task UI in a server environment, then do not use the Publish/Activate button. Instead, use the Publish button to publish the task, and then use the Activate button in the task deployment view in the Siebel client.

For more information, see Publishing and Activating a Task UI in Siebel Tools.

Revise

Creates a new version of the task UI for editing. Siebel Tools increments the version property by 1, and then displays this new version in the Tasks list.

Expire

Sets the status of the task UI to expired.
