When you add, modify, or delete portal objects—catalogs,
pages, and pages groups—you must update Portal Interface
with those changes. See “Updating Portal Interface with changes”.
Portal Interface users can add portlets only to their own user-created pages and page groups.
Do not mix insecure and secure portlets on the same
page.
Creating a page
Select Build | Pages from the Web Studio left pane.
Click New on the Page Manager toolbar.
Click the icon that represents the layout you want for this page.
Click Add to populate the new page with portlets.
When the standard Search window displays, complete the Search criteria to display a list of active approved portlets in the Results window. Leave the search criteria blank to see all active approved portlets.
Click Search.
When the search results display, select a portlet in the Results pane. To select several portlets, hold down the Ctrl key while you click the portlets you want to add in the Results pane.
Click Preview to display the portlet in a separate browser window.
Click Add to add the selected portlets to the page you are building. You return to the Page Builder, which now displays the name of the portlets you added. You also see a representation of the portlets in the selected layout page representation on the right side of the window.
Select the layout. For more information, see “Selecting a page layout”.
In the portlet list, select or deselect these options:
Invisible – lets you hide a specific portlet from the end user. For example, you could set the display status of a portlet to invisible because the portlet is performing a server-side lookup operation.
Active – shows whether each portlet is active. Deselect Active to remove this portlet from the active list. The portlet will not display on the page until you reselect this option to check the box.
Select a portlet in the list and click Preview to view the portlet’s contents in a separate browser window.
Select a portlet in the list and click Remove to remove the portlet from the page.
When you are satisfied with your choices, click Save.
Complete or select these options:
Name – enter a unique page name.
Type – select Default, Catalog, or Guest Page from the drop-down list.
Active – select this option to mark this page active. When you mark a page as active, give the page the Approved status, and update pages to Portal Interface, this page is available to portal users, depending on their access rights.
Roles – select roles from the Available Roles list and add them to the Assigned Roles list to define what roles can access this page. See the Enterprise Security Administration Guide for more information on security roles.
User accounts with the roles in the Assigned Roles list
are the only user accounts that can access this page.
Complete or select these options. When you select any of these options, they apply to all portlets on the selected page.
Enable Page Bar – displays the Change Layout, Add Portlet, Create Portlet, Share Page, Delete Page, and Refresh Page options to the left of the page group drop-down list.
Enable Refresh Page – puts the “Refresh Page” option on the page bar.
Enable Portlets Title Bar – adds a title bar to the portlets on this page.
Enable Portlets Title Bar’s Widget – adds widgets (graphic icons) that let the user maximize or minimize a portlet.
Enable Portlets Border – places a border around the portlets.
Enable Portlets Scroller – places a scroll bar on the portlet if the content is larger than the specified portlet size.
Although Portal Interface users can change the layout
of their personal pages, they cannot change the page properties
listed.
Vertical Spacing – the percentage of empty page space to put between the portlet columns.
Horizontal Spacing – the percent of empty page space above and below each portlet row. Horizontal spacing does not add space to the top of the page.
Left Margin Spacing – the percent of empty page space to place on the left side of the page.
Right Margin Spacing – the percent of empty page space to place on the right side of the page.
Click OK to save your entries.
