Managing pages
Manage Pages allows you to create, edit, activate, order, and delete pages as well as external Web pages and labels. Available tasks depend on which item is selected. Each page can contain multiple pages. All pages on which you have the User or greater role are displayed in a navigation menu. You must expand pages to access nested pages. The options that you see are dependent upon your access level.
- Searching
Use the search feature to search the portlet for portal resources by selecting the type of search and the appropriate search parameters. You can limit the number of portal resources that are listed in the portlet. - Configuring the Manage Pages portlet
You can change the number of pages that display on a page and the total number of pages that are listed by default. In addition, you can control whether or not the search option will appear. - Selecting pages
Pages that you can modify in Manage Pages appear as links in a table. By clicking on a link to select a page, you can navigate to other nested pages to perform page tasks. You can also select labels and URLs in Manage Pages. - Ordering pages, labels, and URLs
You can change the order of pages, labels, and URLs on the site and the order of entries in the main menu from Manage Pages. - Activating or deactivating a page, label, or URL
You can deactivate a resource to prevent users from accessing it without having to change their user roles. You can toggle pages, labels, and URLs to be active or inactive from Manage Pages. If you deactivate a resource, users cannot access this inactive resource. - Managing page properties
Page Properties allows you to set the properties of pages, labels, and URLs. You can access Page Properties through context sensitive links or from the Manage Pages, Theme, Edit Layout, Appearance, or Page Locks portlets. - Creating a portal page from an HTML file
You can create a new portal page by starting with a static HTML file or an HTML fragment. If you revise the HTML, you can refresh the page to render the changes in the portal. - Editing page layout
The Edit Layout portlet allows you to add, remove, and arrange portlets on the page. You can also set column widths and select different page layouts. The tasks that you can perform may be limited if areas or content on the page is locked or you have insufficient access privileges. - Changing portlet appearance
The Appearance portlet lets you change the skin of a portlet on the page. Changing the portlet skin changes the look of the area surrounding the portlet, including the border, margins, and title bar. - Using Page Locks
The Page Locks portlet allows the administrator to lock containers on a page and the content of the containers. As the administrator, you can also decide which portlets can or cannot be deleted from the page. These settings control how a user can work with the page in the Edit Layout and Content portlet. - Using portlet wires
Use wires to exchange information or actions between portlets. - Exporting pages and labels
Exporting allows you to create a response file so that the page or label and its child nodes can be imported into another portal server by using the XML configuration interface. - Moving pages and labels
You can move a page and its children to another location in the portal hierarchy from Manage Pages. - Assigning access to pages, labels, and URLs
You can set access permissions by navigating to the page, label, or URL to which you want to assign or modify access. Click the Set page permissions icon to change permissions for the resource. - Deleting pages, labels, and URLs
You can delete pages, labels, and URLs to remove content and to change the site navigation. - Field descriptions for the Manage Pages portlet
Learn more about the fields that are provided with the user interface. These fields appear under the Edit Shared Settings and Configure menus for the Manage Pages portlet.
