Work with instances of composite applications

Portal administrators can see their applications in the application catalog, while other users can see only those applications that are available to them. You open an application by clicking its name in the catalog. Each application has one or more pages that contain its components. If you have permission to edit an application, its members, and its pages, you can see the actions that are available to you from the menu of an application page.

Before you can perform this procedure, have permission to work with applications, application membership, and applications pages.

To work with an application, follow these general steps:

  1. From the applications catalog, click the name of an application to open it.

  2. Customize the first page of the application.

      If you simply want to add components to the application page, use the Portlets palette. Open an application to the page where you want to add a component. Then open the Portlets palette and drag a component from the list of portlets onto the page of the application.

  3. Create as many pages as you need for the application.

    Use IBMWeb Content Manager to create pages in composite applications is not supported.

  4. From the menu of an application page, choose to perform any of the following tasks:

    • Edit Application Properties

    • Edit Application Layout

    • Assign Application Members

    • Manage Application Roles

    • Show Policy Status

    • Save Application as Template

    • New Page

    • Edit Page Layout

    • Edit Page Properties

    • Assign Page Permissions

    • Delete Page

      The menu choices that you see will depend on the level of access that you have for editing applications, application membership, and application pages. Each menu choice opens a portlet where you perform the task.

After you open a portlet for an application task, refer to the Help topics for more information about the task.
