Customizing the Date Navigation Buttons

When you specify the DateBar Navigation TS applet user property, you specify the time period that Siebel Open UI uses to reset the current date when the user clicks one of the following buttons:

• Single arrow facing backwards. Displays the previous date, small date change.

• Single arrow facing forward. Displays the next date, small date change.

• Double arrow facing backwards. Displays the previous date, large date change.

• Double arrow facing forward. Displays the next date, large date change.

Siebel Open UI displays these buttons at the start and to the end of the date that it displays in the Date Navigation bar.

To customize the date navigation buttons

1. Specify the DateBar Navigation TS applet user property.

   Use the following format:

   time_scale_identifier:small_date_change, big_date_change
   

   where:

   • time_scale_identifier identifies the time scale. Siebel Open UI uses a number to identify each time scale. For more information, see Determining the Number That Siebel Open UI Uses to Identify Time Scales.

   • small_date_change specifies the number of hours, days, weeks, or months that Siebel Open UI uses to modify the current date if the user clicks the back arrow or the previous arrow.

   • big_date_change specifies the number of hours, days, weeks, or months that Siebel Open UI uses to modify the current date if the user clicks the double arrow facing backwards or the double arrow facing forward.

2. (Optional) Add more than one time scale.

   Use a semicolon to separate each time scale. For example:

   1:7,30;4:1,7;2:1,7;64:30,365;128:7,30;256:1,35;
