Configuring the Applets for Program Information


Siebel Self Service is integrated with Oracle Knowledge so that customers can review information about programs on the Siebel Self Service Web site. This information includes details about programs, frequently asked questions (FAQs) about programs, and news articles about programs. Program information appears in applets on the Siebel Self Service Web site. Administrators can configure criteria for the information that appears in these applets. For more information, see About Configuring Oracle Knowledge for Siebel Self Service.

To configure an applet for programs

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Application screen, then the Knowledge Management Configuration view.
  2. Change the sample URL address in the Oracle Knowledge URL field to the appropriate URL address of the Information Manager Server for Oracle Knowledge.
  3. In the Knowledge Management Configuration list, create a new record, and complete the fields as appropriate.

    The following table describes some of the fields.
