Chapter 3: Creating and Using Page Groups and Pages

Adding pages

There are four types of pages used by Portal Interface.

Default pages, catalog pages, and guest pages are created in Web Studio. User pages are created in Portal Interface.

Default – active approved default pages are automatically added to new Portal Interface accounts. Default pages are typically called “home pages.”

You see one or more default (home) pages based on your roles. The way the portlets display on the pages is also based on your roles. You cannot make changes to the default page groups and pages.
Catalog – created by the administrator in Web Studio. You can add catalog (premade) pages by selecting Add Page in Portal Interface. You cannot make any changes to catalog pages.

Add catalog pages by selecting Add Page in Portal Interface.
Guest – guest pages appear when anyone accesses the Portal Interface URL. This is where you log in, or create your Portal Interface account if you do not have one. You cannot change guest pages.
User pages – personal pages created by a user in Portal Interface. User pages do not display in Web Studio.

You can add pages using Manage Pages (see “Adding pages to a page group”), or by using Add Page located at the top of the window. See “Creating new pages” below. You must create page groups before you can add pages.

Creating new pages

Select the page group where you want your page to appear. Click Add Page at the top of the window.
Select “Add new page,” and enter a name for your new page. Choose a unique name for your new page; if the page name already exists within that page group, you cannot create the new page.
Select the Page Layout, and click Done.

Your new page name appears in the page tabs, at the far right. You can change the order of the page tabs by editing the page group. See “Editing page groups”.

Adding premade (catalog) pages

Select the page group where you want your page to appear. Click the Add Page icon at the top of the window.
Select “Add pre-made page,” then select the page you want to add from the pages listed in the box. Click Done.

If you already added the page, you must assign the page a new name. Pages must have unique names within the page group.

Your new page name appears in the page tabs, at the far right. You can change the order of the page tabs by editing the page group. See “Editing page groups”.

Deleting pages using the toolbar

Click Delete Page from the toolbar.
At the Confirm Delete window, click OK to delete the page, or click Cancel to cancel the deletion.

You can also delete pages using the Manage Pages window. See “Deleting page groups or pages”.
