About the Second Level View Bar

After selecting a screen, you must determine the record set that you want to view in the screen. The record set names (or view names) appear in the second level view bar. The second level view bar appears immediately below the application toolbar on the left side of the screen. It looks similar to the view bars for other levels.Views can contain lists, forms, charts, explorer formats, subviews, and so on.

An example of a second level view bar is shown in Figure 3-1. You access a second level view by clicking the drop-down arrow in the second level view bar and then clicking the view name.

The name of the active view appears in a different color than the color for the other view names in the list. If the name for the view you want to use is not visible, then use the scroll down arrow on the right side of the list to display that view name.

You can configure your Siebel application to show the names for the second level view bar in a link bar under screen tabs at the top of the screen or in tree format on the left side of the screen. For more information, see "Setting Navigation Options".

About the Third Level View Bar

After selecting a view, you can drill down on a field in a record of the view to display more view names in the third level view bar lower on the screen. The third level view bar looks similar to the view bars for other levels.Views can contain lists, forms, charts, explorer formats, subviews, and so on.

You access a third level view by clicking the drop-down arrow in the third level view bar and then clicking the view name. The view displays more data for the record that you drill down on.
