Administering Navigation Links
Customers can use navigation links on the Siebel eService Web site to access specific site content, such as service requests, office information, and contact information. A group of navigation links can appear as a carousel on the Siebel eService Web site. Also, a navigation link can designate a gateway to an external Web site. An external Web site might be a social media Web site, such as the Web site for Twitter. You can configure the navigation links that are available to customers, the images that are associated with these links, the behavior of these links when customers click them, the display names of these links, and the locations on the Siebel eService Web site where these links appear. To administer navigation links
- Navigate to the Administration - Application screen, then the Navigation Links view.
- In the Navigation Links list, add a record, and complete the necessary fields.
Some fields are described in the following table.

Image Source |
Type the relative path to the image file for the navigation link on the Web server, or type the path to the external Web site that contains the image file for the navigation link. The Web server must be able to access this file. For example, if you want to type the relative path to the image file in the Images directory, then this field value uses the following format: images/filename (for example, images/LocateOffice.png). |
