About Preferences


Siebel Tools has preferences that control the appearance and behavior of user interface elements. To set these preferences, navigate to Administration-Application, and then System Preferences.

Table 11 describes some of the preferences available.

Table 11.  Siebel Open UI Preferences
System Preference Name
Default Value
Description

Enable Responsive Label

Y

Enables Smart Labels. Input fields qualified for responsiveness start showing a label as soon as any input character is typed in them. These fields must have a input value,

Enable Elastic Grid

Y

Enables Elastic Grid. When enabled, a list applet's height is reduced to the height required for the number of records being displayed in the UI.

Busy Cursor Timeout

30

Controls the maximum time the cursor shows as busy. The default value is 30 seconds and is also the minimum value.

The Busy Cursor Timeout preference provides a way to customize the maximum timeout of the application based on the customer process and usage. This system preference does not change the busy cursor behavior. It provides a way to customize the hourglass timing. Busy Cursor Timeout can be interrupted by other processes that also have timeouts, such as Message Bar interval, Portlet session timeout, or any custom implementation that does a polled server call at regular intervals. The Busy Cursor Timeout value should be less than the timeout values of these processes.

The end of the busy cursor period can indicate one of the following events:

  1. A process may take more time than the maximum Busy Cursor Timeout value and the maximum time has been reached.
  2. The process has completed.
  3. The process has been interrupted by another module.

Starting with look ahead

N

Controls the autocomplete logic in drop-down menus based on the value of the drop-down input field. When set to N (or False) the look ahead logic is "Contains". When set to Y (or True), the look ahead logic is "Starting with". For example, when set to N, and the value of the input field is tom, then the drop-down menu displays values such as tomb, atomic, and custom. When set to Y, the drop-down menu displays only tomb from the same set of data.
