Page groups are a portal entity. Page groups created by developers in Mobile Web Studio are called System Page Groups (SPG), as opposed to page groups created by Portal Interface users, which are personal page groups. SPGs represent default or guest page groups.
During the export process, all approved and active SPGs, including related entities, are written to the XML export document.
Like pages, SPGs are not version controlled. During the import process, existing page groups with the same name are replaced if the Replace Existing Entities option is selected in the Import tab of the Mobile Web Studio–Export/Import dialog box.
Pages within page groups are always exported regardless of their state (active or inactive). Even when a page is marked inactive within the Page Group Builder, it is still exported. Whether a page is imported as active or inactive depends on whether the Import Entities as Active option is selected on the Import tab. However, if a page is marked as inactive using the Page Group Builder, the page does not display in Portal Interface regardless of whether the Import Entities as Active option is selected.
There are two places in Mobile Web Studio where you can deactivate or activate a page:
Page Group Builder – select Build | Page Groups, then right-click an Approved page group in the detail pane and select Edit. The Page Group Builder displays all pages in the page group and each page name is followed by an Active option. When the Active option is not selected, the page is deactivated. The page will not display in only this page group. Other page groups that include this page are not affected; that is, the active/inactive page state in the Page Group Builder is pertinent only to the selected page group.
Page Properties – select Build | Pages, then right-click an approved page in the detail pane and select Properties. The Page Properties window displays an Active option. Deselect Active to deactivate the page.
The same relationship exists between pages and applications.
Each page has a Active option for each application in the page.
If Active is deselected for a specific application in the Page Manager,
the application does not display on that page. If Active is deselect
in the Application Manager, the selected application is deactivated
and every page that contains the application does not display it.
