The following table describes an overview of user interface elements that Siebel CRM uses in the Siebel Web Client for a customer application.
| Element | Description |

Banner |
A starting frame of the header that includes site branding and navigation. It includes the company logo on the first side and the global navigation links in the lower corner of the second. |
Global navigation links |

Screen bar |
A bar that displays the primary tabs that provide access to screens. |

Content area |
The largest frame of the page that contains a view template and one or more applet templates. The user can scroll this content area vertically without affecting the position of the header frames. |
