About the Excel Web Service

NOTE:  Excel Web services are not supported in Siebel Open UI.

The Excel Web service provides several useful features for Siebel users. For example, if you use the Excel Web service, then you do not have to export data from your Siebel database, and import it to Excel. You can use the Excel Web service to perform the following tasks:

• Create and populate spreadsheets with data from your Siebel database.
• Define and save reports which specify the fields to take from your Siebel database, and filters to apply.
• Update your reports as required to get the latest information from the Siebel database.
• Use Excel pivot tables and charts to analyze data from your Siebel database.

By default, the following record types are supported:
