Types of Siebel Web Templates

Siebel CRM uses the following types of Siebel web templates:

  • Page container template. Provides a structure for Siebel CRM. Each Siebel application uses one page container that it uses as a container for view web templates. A view that does not use the container page typically varies significantly from other views. For example, the login page does not use the page container.

  • Web page template. Defines the layout for the entire display. Includes information about where Siebel CRM displays the screen bar, view bar, and view.

  • View web template. Defines the layout for a view. Specifies where to position applets and other page-level controls on the view. Specifies the format of the view.

  • Applet template. Defines the layout for fields and controls in an applet. Specifies how to format elements in an applet. An applet can include more than one mode. Siebel CRM associates each mode with a template. For more information, see Options to Control How the User Creates, Edits, Queries, and Deletes CRM Data.

  • Format template. A web template definition containing Siebel Web Format (SWF) content. Allows you to create custom HTML types, such as specialized controls, list items, and page items, by editing Siebel web templates. For more information, see Configuring an HTML Control Type and Caution About Using Specialized Classes.

Siebel CRM can contain other pages that do not contain any Siebel tags. For example, you might include an About This Application help page. This page is not a template.
