Overview of Configuring Manifests

A manifest is a set of instructions that Siebel Open UI uses to identify the JavaScript files that it must download from the Siebel Server to the client so that it can render screens, views, applets, menus, controls, and other objects. For an overview of how Siebel Open UI uses this manifest, see Example of How Siebel Open UI Renders a View or Applet.

Siebel Open UI replaces the XML manifest file with manifest data that it stores in the Siebel Database. You cannot modify this predefined manifest data, but you can use the Manifest Administration screen in the client to configure the manifest data that your customization requires.

For more information about using a utility that migrates your custom manifest configurations from Siebel CRM version 8.1.1.9 or 8.1.1.10 to the current release, see the topic that describes migrating the Siebel Open UI manifest file in Siebel Database Upgrade Guide.
