About View Tabs

View tabs appear in the bottom part of the application window after you drill down on a field in a record. The list of available views depends on the screen tab that you select. Click a view tab to display the data for the drilldown record. For example, if you are viewing a contact in the Contacts screen, then clicking the Activities view tab displays the activities associated with the contact. Figure 9 shows an example of view tabs.

Figure 9. Example of View Tabs

[

An active view tab appears in a different color than the color for the other view tabs. In Figure 9, the active view is Agreements. If the view tab you want to use is not visible, then click the drop-down arrow at the right end of the view tabs to display and select that view tab. In Figure 9, the drop-down arrow appears to the right of the Applications view tab. When you select an additional view, the last view tab is replaced with the selected view tab.

You can also use the Site Map to navigate to a view. If you select from the Site Map a view that does not appear as a view tab in the Siebel application, then a view tab appears when you navigate to that view. This tab is visible only for the current session. For more information, see About the Site Map.

You can specify the view tabs that appear in the Siebel application. For more information, see Showing, Hiding, and Reordering Screen and View Tabs.

Link Bars for Views

In some instances, a link bar might appear below the view tabs. This link bar provides access to additional views related to the selected record in the view. For more information, see About Link Bars for Screens.
