Using Home Pages

Contents | Index

After you log in to your Siebel application from Oracle, the first screen you see is the application home page. When you navigate in the Siebel application you will also notice screen home pages.

About the Application Home Page

Your application home page consists of a combination of lists and forms that will be most useful to you while working with the application on a daily basis; for example, service requests if you are a call center agent, opportunities if you are a sales person, or a list of your daily activities. Your daily calendar may also appear on your application home page. Your system administrator or organization determines the information available to you on your application home page. You can change the layout of the home page.

About Screen Home Pages

A screen home page is a gateway to all the common functions for that screen. A number of screens have screen home pages. You can change the layout of screen home pages.
