About Screens

Information in the Siebel application is organized into screens. You access a screen by clicking the appropriate screen tab, such as Opportunities, Calendar, or Accounts, and by using the Site Map.

Figure 4 shows an example of screen tabs.

Figure 4. Example of Screen Tabs

The active screen tab frequently appears in a different color than the color for the other screen tabs. In Figure 4, the active screen tab is Service. If the screen tab you want to use is not visible, then click the down arrow at the right end of the screen tabs to display and select that screen tab. In Figure 4, the drop-down arrow appears to the right of the Administration - Server Configuration screen tab. When you select an additional screen, the last screen tab is replaced with the selected screen tab.

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

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

A Siebel administrator can change the screen tab icons in Siebel Tools. If you do not want to display icons on the screen tabs, then contact your Siebel administrator.

You can also configure your Siebel application to show screen tab names in tree format on the left side of your screen. For more information, see Setting Left-Hand Navigation.
