Support for More Than One Usage

Siebel Open UI adjusts to the unique attributes that each client uses so that the user can do the same task on a variety of client types. It can optimize the intrinsic capabilities of each client type or device so that they provide a desirable user experience for the novice user and for the expert user. An administrator can configure Siebel Open UI to meet some of these individual skill levels. Siebel Open UI can do the following:

• Support applications that you customize to meet appearance and behavior requirements or usage patterns of various devices, such as smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, or laptop computers.
• Use flexible layout options that support a tree tab layout or a custom navigation design.
• Automatically hide tabs and navigation panes when not in use to optimize space.
• Allow employees, partners, and customers to use the same business process and validation with different levels of access.
• Use user interactions that are consistent with current Web applications.
• Support layout and gesture capabilities for mobile users who use a tablet or smartphone device.
