Figure 10-2: Page Builder with portlets on page
The Page Builder interface includes:
Toolbar – click Save to save an existing page with the same name. Click Save As to save a new page or save an existing page under a different name.
Layout – select any of the four layout options (30/70, 50/50, 25/50/25, or Full) to change the page’s column layout. See “Selecting a page layout”.
Enterprise Portal 6.0 allows you to design pages with
three columns in Portal Studio and Portal Interface. For Portal
Studio instructions, see “Selecting a page layout”. For Portal Interface instructions, see
the Portal Interface User’s Guide.
Buttons – Add, Preview, and Remove portlets.
Portlet list – the large box in the left pane lists the names of portlets you have added to this page.
Invisible – lets you hide a specific portlet from the end user. For example, you could set the display status of an portlet to invisible because the portlet is performing a server-side lookup operation.
Active – shows whether each portlet is active.
The right pane displays a representation of the page. As you add portlets, smaller boxes that represent the portlets display according to the layout you have selected. You can drag and drop content from one cell to another and right-click any cell to select a custom cell width. See “Selecting a page layout”.
