How to add a tab to the screen of Siebel Call Center? - siebel

I am currently working with Siebel Call Center (Siebel Tools 8.1) and I'm having some trouble adding a tab to the top of the screen, where the 'Accounts', 'Contacts', etc tabs are.
I have added an item under the Page Tabs menu for the Siebel Universal Agent application, but the tab will only show up for the Siebel Administrator.

In Tools:
Create your Views and associate them to a Screen.
In OE go to Application, choose the desired application (e.g. Siebel Universal Agent) and expand. Choose Page Tab, create a new record with your screen.
Compile everything.
In Web Client:
Go to Administration - Application > Responsibilities, choose the responsibility and then Tab Layout, select the application (same as before), find your screen and uncheck the hide property.
Clear the Cache.
Log out.
Log in with the appropriate user.

This is likely because you have not associated any responsibilities with the tab.
This can be administered under:
Site Map > Administration - Application > Responsiblities > Tab Layout
More detail can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/Secur/Secur_AccessControl40.html

When you say tabs at the top of the Screen I'm assuming you are referring to a Siebel Screen. You do not associate Screens to Responsibilities. You associate Views to Responsibilities. Because a View is a child of a Screen once a View is associated to a Responsibility the Screen will also become available.
You need to do a couple of things to get the Screen/View to be visible.
In the Object Explorer of Siebel tools make sure you have defined your View
In the Object Explorer of Siebel tools make sure you have defined your Screen
In the Object Explorer of Siebel tools make sure you have associated the View to the Screen
Take note of the View Name
In the Siebel Thin/Thick Client, navigate to:
SITE MAP > Administration - Application > Responsibilities
Make sure that a Responsibility that you are associated with has the View (noted in step #4) associated with it
Click the Clear Cache button.
Log Out and back In
Your Screen and View should now be visible.

Just to add to this...
If you are creating the new View from scratch... you'll need to add the View as follows:
Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Application > Views
In the Views Applet click NEW to and enter view name and view description
Set the Local Access flag to Y
In the Responsibilities applet underneath, specify a Responsibility to associate with the view and set Local Access flag to Y
Then you can navigate to Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Application > Responsibilities and clear the cache

How to reset customization of default home view in IBM Cognos 11.0.5 to default welcome page

While testing customization of Cognos 11.0.5 I've tried to make a dashboard the default home page following the steps in IBM knowledge center Here
On the Views tab of the Managing > Customization slide-out panel, click next to the default home view. You can now browse for a dashboard or report to be the default home view, or you can select a view in the list of home views to be the default home view for all users.
It worked well, but I made a dire mistake of replacing the selected dashboard with a newer developed version (copy-to --> overwrite), hence I think the default view is pointing to a no-longer-existing object (different new ID)
Cognos is now throwing error after sign-in that home page cannot be retrieved. I have been able to access it back using URL <webserver_name>:<port_number>/bi/?factoryMode=true
error screenshot
BUT what I'm struggling with is setting the default home page in "View" tab of the Managing > Customization back to home or another dashboard, instead, it is now BLANK with no settings to adjust neither "home page" nor "sign-in page" shows up!
I've tried to apply the default "IBM" theme again, restarting Cognos application but no go. the settings seem vanished in the "View" tab! Is there any way to reset the incorrect settings in the content server or the configuration manager?
Update: found settings under \ibm\cognos\analytics\configuration\data\flipper\config\global
That has the home page pointing configuration for the dispatcher to the perspective but still missing the "Views" settings from UI, looks it would require product support.

Duplicate an existing app or version control on retool

I have an app on retool and I want to try out some different layouts. Is there a way to duplicate an app or have version control that you can revert to?
You can duplicate an app by going to the "Create New App" screen, and then instead of selecting "Blank App" you can choose "Duplicate". That'll allow you to choose an existing app to copy from.
Revision History is possible by hitting the "..." button in the top right, and then selecting "View history".
Not sure if Retool updated their UI, but I wasn't able to do this with the accepted answer.
I needed to hover over the name of the app in the list view (before you actually edit the app) and click the ... button on the right. Then, I selected duplicate from that dropdown.

Clicking a node in the Sitecore tree makes all other nodes disappear

I'm encountered a weird issue with new Sitecore user accounts. I set their permissions correctly, giving them access to read, write, create, etc the content items/folders they need and the Media Library. When they user logs in and clicks any of the 5 nodes in the tree (or their children) the Sitecore tree/navigation will hide all other nodes.
So if they click an image in the Media Library, the Sitecore tree will focus on the Media Library and not show the Content, System, Templates, etc nodes.
I've tried adding every single role in my company's Sitecore system to a test user and that didn't change a thing, it still happens. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
In the Content Editor, click the Content Editor menu, and then click Application Options. Click View tab and check "Show Entire Content Tree"

Can you please check your URL if it contains ro=/sitecore/media when you click an image media item? Also let please let us know which version you using of Sitecore? Have you made any changes to link manager ?
This sounds to me like a session issue. The Sitecore shell does not like running in a stateless load balanced environment, and the tree in particular manages it's context in session state. If you have more than one server for authoring behind an NLB make sure you have sticky sessions enabled. Otherwise check to make sure your session state setup is properly configured.

MS Access Web App: Link existing view to table

I have created a new view ("form") in my Access Web App using the menu buttons to create a new view. The view is bound to a table in my database. Running Access on my computer, I can select the view from the navigation panel on the left.
Now I would like to have a link to my view appear at the top of the page in the Web App. Much like the default List and Datasheet view that are created automatically for every new table.
How can I create a link to my view, so that I can select it when running my Web App in the browser?
(And in general: where's a good place to find documentation and help regarding Access Web Apps. I'm having a hard time finding anything online)
thanks for your help.
What entry point did you use to create this new view in your Access web app? If you used the Advanced button on the ribbon, that creates what we call a standalone view in your web app - a view that exists in the Navigation Pane in Access client. You can only open these types of views using macros.
In order to "associate" an existing standalone view to the View Selector at the top of the navigation, right-click the view name in the Navigation Pane and select Duplicate. a dialog box will appear that allows you to create an identical copy of the view and "associate" it with a particular table. It will then appear as a link in the View Selector. You can then delete the original view if you want.

Customizing Icons at the top of the Page

I'm maintaining a Facebook iFrame application, and my client is worried about the transition to Timeline. Basically, they want their home page to have a big icon next to 'Photos' that takes the user to the page hosting the iFrame. The tricky thing is that users can "pledge" within the app, and they want the link icon to look different depending on whether or not the user has pledged within the app. Is there any way to do this?
Assuming the answer is no, is there a way to add a second icon for the iFrame app so that I can customize one to look different? Or would I need to set up another page hosting the same iFrame?
Thanks!
Go to Fan Page Timeline, click the arrow on the half box to the right of photos, likes etc (assuming you haven't changed the order of the apps), hover over the icon you want to change and click on the pencil icon that shows up in the top right corner. Then click "edit settings". Here you can change the tab image or give the tab a custom name.
alternatively you can enter the edit page settings, go to the apps section, edit the app, and you can change the icon from there.
in either case, you will need to be a page admin to complete the task.
Update on 4/12
Facebook just added the functionality for developers to set a default image. Here is the post in the Developer Blog.
