Startup View

You can determine the screen and view that appears when you launch your application.

To set a startup view

  1. From the application-level menu, choose Tools, then User Preferences.

    The User Preferences screen appears.

  2. Navigate to the Behavior view.

    The Behavior form appears.

  3. In the Startup View field, click the select button.

    The Pick Favorite dialog box appears.

  4. From the Startup View list in the Pick Favorite dialog box, select the screen and view you want as your startup view.

    For example, choosing Accounts - Activities shows the Accounts screen, then Activities view when you first launch your application.

    Note: The startup views to appear at startup are visible in the drop-down list for the Startup View field only if the Category Viewbar Text and the Menu Text screen view properties are defined in Siebel Tools. If a view within a screen has neither of these properties defined, then the view does not appear in the list. For more information about setting the screen view properties, contact your administrator.

  5. Click OK.

    The screen and view you select appear in the Startup View field the next time you log in to the application.

    You must log out and then back in to the application for the changes to take effect.
