For many old-schoolers, we are very familiar with having text displayed for common buttons (Query, New, Edit, Delete, etc.) instead of icons. ‘Iconization’ was introduced in later versions of Siebel OUI, and for many existing clients, text was a better fit. Changing the applet level vanilla buttons from icons to text is a very simple […]

Starting in Siebel IP2013, a little known enhancement was introduced in Oracle’s clinical trial management system (CTMS): the ability to incorporate Siebel SmartScripts directly into trip reports. What are SmartScripts? According to Oracle’s official documentation, “Siebel SmartScript allows business analysts, call center managers, and Siebel developers to create scripts to define the application workflow for interactive customer communications. […]

Now that June is here, I thought it would be neat to look back at what our readers found most interesting last month. Below are the top five blog posts Perficient’s life sciences practice wrote in May – they’re ranked in order of popularity, with number one being the most viewed piece. How To Import Data Into Siebel […]

As you might know, by default, you can export data from any Siebel list applet. Here is where you invoke the export: Recently, I had a client who wished to disable the ability to export data from Siebel, except for in one particular view. I’ve never seen this documented anywhere before, so I thought I […]

Our clients are always looking for better or different ways to import data from other systems or from spreadsheets into their Siebel applications. In this blog post, I examine one such method; drag and drop. Starting in Siebel 8.1.1.11 (with patch set 4 applied), you have the ability to drag and drop from applications like […]

Are you still running Siebel 8.1 and using internet explorer (IE) 11? In this blog post, I’ll show you the steps to make IE 11 compatible with Siebel 8.1. After setting the IE parameters stated below, you should be able to use all of the system’s capabilities (e.g., navigation, data entry, running reports). Here are […]

Recently, one of our Oracle Siebel Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) clients noted that the rollups feature, which collates information from lower levels of the data type hierarchy into a single view (e.g., all site records within a single region or country), was not working properly. Specifically, the fields that indicate the number of subjects […]

There are many articles and blog posts written about the benefits of Siebel Open UI. So, rather than discussing that topic, I will focus on a new approach and methods and tools to leveraging the best that Siebel Open UI has to offer. Most Siebel implementations generally follow the traditional implementation approach, we get the requirements […]

I thought it might be helpful to provide instruction on how I set up each virtual machine to support the Oracle Siebel Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) implementation and integration projects I work on. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a clone master for each version of Siebel that I keep offline […]

While Siebel developers have always been encouraged to use non-scripting solutions to implement custom business functionality, almost every Siebel Clinical (CTMS) implementation project that I have worked on has included an integration component, and in almost every instance, it has required some coding with Siebel eScript. But, how do you debug your custom code? For […]

While we are waiting with bated breath for Siebel Innovation Pack 2017 (IP2017), Oracle managed to sneak in a patch release for IP2016. Here is how you can find version 16.10 on the “My Oracle Support” site: Side Note: I attended an IP2017 dog-and-pony show last week and saw a lot of goodies for everyone. […]
