Siebel- Close Browser window when logging off
In case of standard interactivity applications like eSales , eService, when user logs off, he is directed to the page through which he logged in the application. But there is a requirement to close the IE when user logs off. Here we are doing this for eSales Application. This can be done in following manner:
• Create a new .swt file say “LogOffDestination “ which contains following HTML script:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>

Siebel – Remove About SRF Window
In my previous post, I had discussed as to how we can control how we can control the data being displayed in the Siebel Client, About SRF window. You can read the article here.
One impromptu question came up from the audience, “What if I want to limit opening of the About SRF window itself in the first place?”. I said, “Nice question!”.
Try out the following steps to disable the About SRF window itself from Siebel Web Client.

Siebel – About SRF Window – Remove data
Okay. This is something those who like to toy with Siebel may find interesting. I will discuss today, how we can play with the Siebel ‘About SRF’ window when you go Help -> About SRF in Siebel Client Application.
I guess almost all the Siebel users would have seen or used the Siebel ‘About SRF’ window to know about the latest SRF that has been compiled, or other technical information for the application that they just logged into.

Siebel – changing Textbox height
There are a number of HTML controls available in Siebel. One such control is the Textbox, or the Textarea. This is generally displayed as a big box on the screen having a height spanning multiple rows.
There was a requirement from my client to modify the number of rows being displayes on the Textbox. He wanted this textarea on the Applet to be 6 rows tall, such that most of the text is directly visible to the Customer Support guy using this view. I will discuss the solution that we implemented to this problem here.

Siebel – DefaultFocus – User Property
In Siebel Application, whenever you navigate to a screen, the default focus of the cursor is set to the first editable field. You may have a requirement to instead set the default focus to a more commonly used field. So, whenever you navigate to that screen, the curson focus will be on the client required field first up, and the user will have to navigate to reach some other field in the applet.
This can be done easily by using a Siebel vanilla Applet level User Property called, DefaultFocus.

Siebel – millisecond dates on Applet
I had discussed in my previous posts about invoking a BS in a calculated field for complex calculated calculations, and, about finding out dates accurate to milliseconds. You can read about them from the links below:
Invoking a BS in a calculated field
finding out dates accurate to milliseconds
Today, I will discuss as to how we can show dates on Applets with upto millisecond accuracy. This could be of immense importance in EAI projects as one example, wherein we need to calculate the time spent on each step. Performance debugging could be really enhanced by using this method.
