Configuring and Extending the User Interface

The following are some of the development features of the Siebel Open UI client that make it possible for you to extend the client user interface:

  • JavaScript application programming interface (API)

  • Customizable cascading style sheets

  • Existing configuration options for Siebel CRM

To help you to achieve the best possible user experience, Siebel Open UI provides a fully published JavaScript API to build powerful Siebel CRM solutions. This API enables you to extend the capabilities of the features provided by Oracle. The JavaScript API supports simple validations as well as more complex capabilities, such as the replacement of entire user interface components that must be rendered in special ways. The implementation of cascading style sheets (CSS) for Siebel Open UI simplifies branding the user experience. You can manipulate any aspect of colors, fonts, layout, and styling for your Siebel CRM applications.

You can continue to use the tools that you are accustomed to, or you can use the new Web development extensibility features to build application features that were previously unachievable using traditional means.
