24ESS - Understanding The Physical User Interface

This module describes the physical user interface in Siebel 7.7. It explains that Siebel uses web templates to lay out the logical user interface, and that the object manager builds the UI at runtime using these templates. It then defines the different types of web templates, including form applet templates, list applet templates, view templates, and web page templates. The templates are XML files that contain placeholders for UI objects and Siebel tags.
