About Screens

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

Figure 3-2 shows the Side Menu with the list of available screens.

Figure 3-2 Example of the Side Menu and List of Available Screens

The active screen frequently appears in a different color than the color for the other screens in the list. In Figure 3-2, the active screen tab is Accounts.

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 in the screen list, it will appear in the screen list once you navigate to that screen. This screen is visible only for the current session. For more information, see "About the Site Map".

You can specify the screens that appear in the Siebel application. For more information, see "Showing, Hiding, and Reordering Screens or Views".

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 tabs across the top of the screen, or in a tree format on the left side of your screen. For more information, see "Setting Navigation Options".
