Application runtime entities

This section discusses the runtime entities that must be generated to execute the application.


Application flow

If the application is laid out for application flow, the application’s applications are positioned on one page at portal runtime.

Click Application Flow to lay out an application’s applications on one page. Select one of the four page layouts that are available. Typically, you assign applications to the layout cells from left -to-right and top-to-bottom, which reflects the natural flow of information. Once the layout is done, click Preview to view how the applications will display on a Portal Interface page.


Page flow

If the application is laid out for page flow, the application’s applications are positioned on different pages at portal runtime. To lay out applications on a page, click Page Flow. You assign applications in the cells of the page-flow layout from top-to-bottom reflecting the natural flow of information. In Portal Interface, the pages show from left-to-right. Once the layout is done, click Preview to see how the pages will display in a Portal Interface personal page group.

NoteTo use Page Flow, the <page.group> property in the global.properties.xml file must be set to “on.”
