The Siebel CRM web applications use graphic files to enhance the visual appearance of the user interface. Examples of these files are:
The company logo in the upper-right corner
Bitmaps on toolbar buttons and screen tabs
Control icons such as calendar and calculator
Folder icons in hierarchical tree views
Data visualization icons in list and form applets
The graphic files reside in the images folder in the PUBLIC folder of the SWSE or client installation directory. This is necessary so that the browser can download them. For easier management of the graphic files, the Siebel Repository contains the Bitmap Category type, which organizes Bitmap object definitions into categories.
A Bitmap object definition mainly defines the name of the file, which is in turn referenced in the HTML code rendered by the browser.
The following screenshot shows the Bitmap Category named HTML Command Icons, which contains the bitmaps used in the Siebel application toolbars:
