Standard Interactivity
All browsers include a common set of capabilities which translate into a base set of supported Siebel
application features (for example, frames, menus, or multi-select). A Siebel application running in
standard interactivity mode assumes the availability of and uses these base capabilities only. In
general, these base capabilities are sufficient for the levels of interaction required by Siebel customer
applications. Base browser functionalities are commonly supported by most browsers. Table 11 on
page 26 lists browsers that support standard interactivity.
High Interactivity
The Microsoft Internet Explorer browser framework extends the base functionality described in the
previous section and offers support for additional usability features such as drag and drop for setting
column widths and positions, the ability to select rows and fields by clicking anywhere within the
element, and selectively updating portions of the page based on data that changes. A Siebel
application running in high interactivity mode requires the Microsoft Internet Explorer’s advanced
capabilities in addition to the base capabilities.
