Manage 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. Both administrators and users with appropriate access can create and delete pages. Users can only delete the pages they create or the pages for which they have at least Manager access

• Select 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.

• Creating pages

  A page displays content, such as portlets and other pages, in a single area. By creating pages, you can organize your information and add new navigational elements to the site.

• Creating a label

  Labels act as separators that organize groups of pages and URLs into categories. When you add a separator on the site, decide between creating a label or a page. You create a label instead of a page when you are only seeking an organizational solution and do not need to display content.

• Creating a URL

  You can create URLs to add external URLs to your portal navigation.

• Edit pages, labels, and URLs

  You can edit the properties of existing pages, labels, and URLs to modify settings or add new settings in Page Properties.

  For example, you can change the name, navigational layout, and theme of a page from Page Properties.

• Search pages

  By selecting a search type in Manage Pages, you can quickly locate and work with pages, labels, or URLs.

• Ordering pages, labels, and URLs

  When you reorder items listed in Manage Pages, you are changing the order of pages, labels, and URLs on the site. You are also changing the order of entries in the main menu.

• Move 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

  Set permissions on portal resources, such as pages, labels, and URLs, from the Administration section.

• Activate or deactivating a page, label, or URL

  You can toggle pages, labels, and URLs to be active or inactive. Users cannot access an inactive resource.

• Deleting pages, labels, and URLs

  By deleting pages, labels, and URLs, you can remove content and change the site navigation.

• Export pages and labels

  The Export option allows you to create an XML file that can be imported into another portal by using the XML configuration interface. The page or label and its child nodes will be exported.

• Set up Manage Pages

  You can configure default settings for Manage Pages. These defaults can be made on a global scale, applying to all instances of or on an individual basis, depending on which option you can select from the context menu.
