To add a custom logo to the banner

1. In Windows Explorer, add the image file that includes the logo to the images directory for Siebel Tools and the Siebel client.

   For example:

   • C:\Siebel\8.2\Client_1\PUBLIC\enu\IMAGES
   • C:\Siebel\8.2\Tools_1\PUBLIC\ENU\IMAGES
2. Rename the custom image file you added in Step 1 to new_banner_logo.gif.
3. Make a backup copy of the dCCFrameBanner.swt file.

   The dCCFrameBanner.swt file is located in Siebel Tools Web template directory. For example, C:\Siebel\8.2\Tools_1\WEBTEMPL. This file is the banner frame template for a Siebel application.

4. In Siebel Tools, make sure you set up the default HTML editor and display the Bitmap Category object type.

   For more information, see Setting Up Siebel Tools.

5. Edit the Web template:
   1. Choose the View menu, Windows, and then the Web Templates Window menu item.
   2. In the Web Template Explorer, click dCCFrameBanner.
   3. Siebel Tools displays the HTML contents of the dCCFrameBanner Web template in the Web Template File window.
   4. Right-click in the Web Template File window, and then choose the Edit Template menu item.

      Siebel Tools opens your HTML editor and displays the code of the dCCFrameBanner.swt file. To use this feature, you must set up the default HTML editor. For more information, see Setting Up Siebel Tools.

   5. In the Web Template File window, locate the following code:

   <td valign="middle" align="left"><span><swe:image name="BANNER_LOGO" category="HTML Control Icons"/></span></td>

   6. Change BANNER_LOGO to NEW_BANNER_LOGO.
   7. Save your work, and then close the HTML editor.
   8. Close the Web Template File window and the Web Template Explorer window.
6. Add a bitmap that references your new file:
   1. In Object Explorer, click Project.
   2. In the Projects list, query the Name property for Bitmap, and then make sure the Locked property contains a check mark.
   3. In Object Explorer, click Bitmap Category.
   4. In the Bitmap Categories list, query the Name property for HTML Control Icons.
   5. In Object Explorer, expand the Bitmap Category tree, and then click Bitmap.
   6. In the Bitmaps list, query the Name property for BANNER_LOGO.
   7. Right-click the BANNER_LOGO bitmap, choose Copy, and then set properties for the new record using values from the following table.

      Property	Value
      Name	NEW_BANNER_LOGO
      Filename	new_banner_logo.gif

7. Copy the dCCFrameBanner.swt file from the Web templates directory for Siebel Tools to the Web templates directory for the Siebel client.

   For example, copy the dCCFrameBanner.swt file from the C:\Siebel\8.2\Tools_1\WEBTEMPL directory to the C:\Siebel\8.2\Client_1\WEBTEMPL directory.

8. Open your browser and then clear the browser cache.

   For example, in Internet Explorer 7, do the following:

   1. Choose the Tools menu, and then the Internet Options menu item.
   2. In the Browsing History section, click Delete.
   3. In the Delete Browsing History dialog box, click Delete Files, and then click Close.
9. Open the Siebel client.

   For the NREC example, open the Partner Portal application.

10. Make sure the banner resembles the screen capture in Figure 19.
