Using the Siebel Marketing CKEditor HTML Editor

You can use CKEditor, the HTML editor provided with Siebel Marketing, to make changes to your HTML template. To make more complex changes than are possible in CKEditor, see Editing a Template Using a Third-party Default HTML Editor.

  • Alt-tag support

  • Bold, italic, and underline

  • Bulleted List

  • Clip art support

  • Copy, cut, and paste

  • Find and replace

  • Graphic and Flash support

  • HTML source view

  • Hyperlinks

  • If-Then-Else conditional statements

  • Indents

  • MS Office document integration

  • Numbered Lists

  • Personalization support (events, merge fields, response forms, Web surveys, Web treatments, trackable URLs, social sharing URLs, dynamic URLs, product catalog items)

  • Preview support

  • Spelling checker

  • Styles

  • Tables

  • Undo and redo

    Note: To enable image map support, download and install the Image Map plug-in for CKEditor. The Image Map plug-in allows you to create and edit image maps in CKEditor. For additional information, go to the CKEditor Web site at https://ckeditor.com/.

To make changes using the HTML editor, enter your changes directly in the workspace. You can also use the editing toolbar in the Template Contents workspace for formatting text. Most of the buttons on the toolbar are the same buttons that appear in the standard CKEditor software.

Note: To add a custom header to an email template, add a command like the following: $(Header "X-header-name" "value").
