Navigation Options

The Siebel Web client application by default uses the Side Menu navigation control in the application. This navigation option allows you to access screens from the "Side Menu", views from the "Second Level View Bar" and "Third Level View Bar", and subviews from the "Fourth Level Subview Bar".

The other available navigation control options are Tab and Tree.

If you select the Tab navigation control option, then:

Screen names appear in screen tabs across the screen, at the start of each page.
In the second level view bar, view names appear in a link bar under the screen tabs.
In the third level view bar, more view names appear in view tabs lower on the screen.
In the fourth level subview bar, subview names appear in a link bar under the view tabs lower on the screen.

If you select the Tree navigation control option, then:

Screen names appear in tree format at the side of the screen.
In the second level view bar, view names appear under the screen names.
In the third level view bar, more view names appear in view tabs lower on the screen.
In the fourth level subview bar, subview names appear when you hover the cursor over a view tab lower on the screen.

If you write with your left hand, then select the tree navigation control option to access screens and views.
