Modifying a Custom Control in the Customer Dashboard

This topic is part of Modifying the Appearance and Layout of the Customer Dashboard.

You can modify a custom control in the Customer Dashboard. Doing this is similar to adding a custom control, as described in Adding a Custom Control to the Customer Dashboard.

To modify a custom control in the Customer Dashboard

1. On the Siebel Server computer, open the file SIEBSRVR_ROOT\webtempl\custom\CCAppletDashboard.swt for editing.

   You previously copied this file to the custom directory, in Overview of the Customer Dashboard.

2. Determine which field you want to modify.

   See the list of predefined field and label names for custom controls, in Overview of the Customer Dashboard.

3. In Siebel Tools, open the Object Explorer.
4. Select the Applet object definition Persistent Customer Dashboard Applet.
5. In the Applet Control list, select the applet control that you want to modify.
6. Under Applet Web Template, in the Applet Web Template Item list, select the Web template item corresponding to the field that you want to modify (see Step 2).
7. Modify the Web template item as desired.
8. Save your changes, and then compile your changes into an SRF file.
9. Restart the Siebel Server to use the updated SRF file.
