Configuring the Thread Bar

The thread bar is a navigation device that Siebel CRM displays immediately after the application toolbar. It helps the user track the navigation path among views. For more information, see Using Web Templates to Configure the Thread Bar.

An example of a thread bar (also shown in the following image) is as follows

Opportunity:2013 4700 Desktops - 2500 units > Contact:Carlson > Activity

To configure the thread bar

1. In the Object Explorer, click View.

2. In the Views list, locate the view you must modify, and then set properties for the view using values from the following table.

   Property	Description
   Thread Applet	The applets in the view that supply a value for the thread field.
   Thread Field	The name of the field that Siebel Tools displays after the greater than sign (>) in the thread bar. This field is in the business component that the Thread Applet references.
   Thread Title	The text that Siebel Tools displays before the greater than sign (>) in the thread bar. This text identifies the view. For example, the Thread Title property is Acct for most views that display accounts, such as Account List view and Account Detail - Contacts view.

3. Repeat the last step for each view that requires a thread bar.

4. Compile and test your modifications.
