Navigate to Siebel CRM Action Type
The Navigate to Siebel CRM action type allows the content designer to add an action that navigates to a view (such as an opportunity) in a Siebel CRM application. This action type allows users to navigate from a dashboard that is embedded in a Siebel CRM application to a record in a view in the CRM application. This action type requires you to perform a security integration between Oracle's Siebel CRM and Oracle BI EE. You must also configure the Action Framework before it is available in Oracle BI EE Presentation Services.
