About Standard Interactivity

Standard interactivity provides users of Siebel Business Applications with a user experience similar to that for users of traditional Web applications for customer applications, such as those for consumers. The usability characteristics of standard interactivity are familiar to users of typical consumer Web sites. This deployment mode is available for the Siebel Web Client.

Most user interactions in standard interactivity clients result in a page refresh. When creating a new record, the user clicks the New button (which refreshes the page when the application displays a new entry form), enters the relevant data, then clicks the Save or Submit button (which again refreshes the page when the application redisplays the original page). Similarly, when a user browses through a list of records, the page refreshes each time that a new record is selected.

NOTE:  Siebel Open UI, a new user interface alternative, presents several advantages. For more information, see About Siebel Open UI.
